$ xrandr --listproviders

Yeah! You can now use xrandr to set the new provider to your Intel (provider 0). After that, you should have your screen into screen manager.

Just a question : have you 2 displaylink connected ?

I work around a best detection method to start automatically the displaylink service. I will post when I found it.

If someone have any informations about it, it could be useful for me ;-)

Thx
