So, if you switch the device to configuration 1 manually, udl driver should pick it up.

This can be also automated with udev rules, see https://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/DeviceQuirks/ for inspiration and more detailed explanation.

Thanks,

Indeed the Xenarck is DL-165. I will try and follow udev rules: https://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/DeviceQuirks/

To be clear: I don't install an DisplayLink driver and use built-in utilities associated with libdlo (libusb-dev)

I then hack the udev rules to get config#1 to match correctly?

Thanks for the reply I will give it a whirl.
