I still need the patch for 18, so same problem for me needing to keep the primary display on....

Very useful. I'll look into this and see whether we can't make any use of the patch in an easy way

However, I'll only put focus on Ubuntu 20.04 (or whatever I run at the moment).

You mean DisplayLink's patched package? I'm not sure how their changes influence other packages which are built from the same source. Nevertheless, I'll add it to my PPA next to the evdi packages.

I mean the XServer Patch

DisplayLink XServer Patch (20.04)

And certain updates overwrite it so you have to do it again.

I can't recommend this patch. After patch it caused xorg-server as very unstable and crashing for me (i have fresh install Linux Mint Mate). (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/issues/3468) I only install last xorg-server from update center + my laptop display stayed as active.

After return back to lastest xorg-server it seems all fine. But yes, laptop display is still not fixed (https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/.../-/issues/1028). Keep your laptop display turned on.


I will wait for any proper displaylink version + xorg. It's a shame.
