Angry Horizontal Screen tearing Lenovo laptop + dock

I used the DisplayLink support tool is installed alongside the DisplayLink software and should be available from your terminal.
Open the terminal application
Run the command `sudo DLSupportTool.sh`
The archive file with data will be saved in a tar.gz file in the current directory.

However, I was not able to upload the tar file here so here is a link to it: https://filebin.net/vhjmzvdesjityrhf

I am experiencing horizontal screen tearing all of the time.

Laptop Lenovo Yoga Pro 9i Aura Edition 16" 3.2K OLED
Docking station: Lenovo ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock
2x External Monitors: Samsung LC27F390FHUXXE

I am currently running wayland and not x11 since I need/want to scale my monitors differently: two 1920x1080 external monitors connected through a dock to my laptop screen which is 3200x2000. I tried turning on performance mode in nvidia settings in wayland, however, no extra utilization of the gpu was there (0% still) after a reboot. However, when I then changed the session to x11 the GPU was used and no screen tearing appeared. Is there a fix for this in wayland or a way for me to scale differently in x11? I tried fractional scaling, however, it did not work properly at all in x11.

Here are files: https://filebin.net/vhjmzvdesjityrhf generated from displaylink driver's support tool. There is information about my system and configuration.

Hi RNDRD,

Thanks for the logs and the report. Does the problem look as in the video in the following github issue? https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/524

Regards,
Szymon
