DisplayLink 5.4 and Linux Kernel 5.11 not working

dmiller · 04-14-2021, 03:23 PM

My environment:
- Kensington SD4900P USB-C
- DisplayLink Link Driver 5.4
- Linux: Pop_OS! 20.04 (Based upon Ubuntu 20.04) -- Fully updated
- Linux Kernel 5.11.0-7612-generic

When I try to boot I get a sig 11 from Xorg. In order to get a desktop environment I have to do one of the following:

1) Disable my NVIDIA card completely and use integrated Intel card
2) Uninstall DisplayLink Driver 5.4

With either of the above "fixes" applied, I can at least boot into Xorg. I cannot use my external displays.

Any one have alternatives or workarounds? I'd really rather not swap distros, but missing my external monitors does take a hit to my productivity.
