Default DisplayPort not working

Hello there,

I hope this is still the valid topic for my question.

I am able to install the displaylink driver quite fine, however the Monitors connected thorugh Displayports refuse to work with this kernel.

I did a clean install of Pop OS 20.10.

Code:
|19:07:02|crashdummy@pop-os:[~]> uname -a && lsb_release -a
Linux pop-os 5.9.3-surface #1 SMP Wed Nov 4 03:03:11 UTC 2020 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID:	Pop
Description:	Pop!_OS 20.10
Release:	20.10
Codename:	groovy
Code:
|18:59:24|crashdummy@pop-os:[~]> lsmod | grep evdi

I am using This Dock from i-tec

I did all these steps as instructed.
The only way the monitors can produce some output is by connecting them with HDMI.
As this dock has only one HDMI Port I can't work around this issue for now...

I use This Lenovo USB-C Dock frequently, too.
The Displays here are connect with displayports only, thus no display can be connected at all.

Both dockings were working quite fine till Kernel 5.7 ( haven't tested since then )

Logs have been attached

Update: Restarting the displaylink service appears to get the second monitor to run:

Code:
|12:44:33|crashdummy@pop-os:[~]> sudo systemctl restart displaylink-driver
|12:44:33|crashdummy@pop-os:[~]> systemctl status displaylink-driver
