Yes, for me the display just wasn't enabled. I was able to download ARandR, then right-click to enable the display and arrange it as necesary. i3 doesn't automatically setup all displays connected via DisplayLink on startup, so I would suggest saving the screen configuration as a .sh file and having it run on startup to automatically setup your displays.
