Thank you for your answer.
Nevertheless, in spite of your explanation I still can't get DisplayLink display to work without adding the Login Screen Extension.
In details (the computer is a laptop, MacBook pro, and I only installed the DisplayLink Manager)
1- I reboot the laptop
2- my laptop is in use, and my personal session opened (so I'm not in the login screen, but in my session, with the Mac Desktop opened)
3- then I go to a room with a DisplayLink display
4- I manually launch the application "DisplayLink Manager"
5- a menubar item appears, and in this menubar item I see always see the message stated above:
"No Displaylink-enabled display connected"
Only if I add the Login Item Extension (and redo the whole scenario above) will the external DisplayLink display be detected.
So I must miss something, but I don't know where...
Regards,
