Bus 004 Device 003: ID 17e9:4301 DisplayLink USB3.0 to HDMI Adapter


to be able to build i changed this line in displaylink-installer.sh (added --strip ...)
if ! tar xf "$TARGZ" -C "$EVDI" --strip-components=1; then

But the monitor is not found with xrandr,and also not switched on.
Xorg version 1.20.11

Any help appreciated

if you have more providers if you call

xrandr --listproviders

make sure the last provider with modesetting has an associated provider
Switch of unused providers
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource [other active modesetting provider]
Switch last installed provider on
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource [last modesetting provider] 0

And then you also should make a start script which is calling

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource [last modesetting provider] 0
