At this page, I think we have a solution:

Me I have two monitors (Philips Brilliance 220SW), an usb DisplayLink Certified Kensingston K33907 and a raspberry pi 3 model B V1.2 with the OS Ubuntu Mate installed. I install the last kernel 4.9.60-v7+ with the displaylink drivers for ubuntu.

But only the monitor who is connected at the adapter work. The monitor connected by HDMI display anything, just the command prompt after the raspberry have
finish to boot.

For my xorg.conf file, I used this process: https://www.novaspirit.com/2015/12/3...-raspberry-pi/

Do you know how can I do for have my two monitors work ?

And extended the display from the hdmi ouput to the usb adapter displaylink ?

Which config for my xorg.conf ?

Thank a lot...

Ah. So your device is a USB to DVI-VGA adapter which uses an older generation DL-1x5 chip. You don't need this driver for it at all then, it's should be supported by "udl" module which is already available in the kernel.

All the components you need are in your hands and they are all open source, should you need to tweak stuff. Let me know if you're successful - if you find a way of running the Pi with 2 screens, we can replicate this for newer devices that need evdi and DisplayLink Manager.

Cheers,
