Weird! Looking at both 5.4.1 and 5.5 of the driver .run files I don't see any evidence that they install support packages but I could be wrong. My guess is that they used to include the evdi kernel module with the driver and now they don't anymore.

On your 22.04 system it's possible the evdi-dkms package got inadvertently installed somehow. Would you mind posting the output of these two commands? Might answer some questions.

dpkg -l | grep -i evdi

sudo displaylink-installer version

My output:

➜  ~ dpkg -l | grep -i evdi
