I was about to purchase a non-display link portable monitor, but thought I'd give this a try, as it was NOT working on my 20.04 Ubuntu setup. With this, I can finally dust off the secondary USB monitor, and take it with me. I'm super happy, and it saved me £300 buying a new one.

Note that in my case, I did need to enter the password for secure boot on reboot. Make sure you understand that process clearly before installing, and ALWAYS back up your important files BEFORE installing anything that messes with the display system. You may ALSO want to install and run Timeshift to do a backup of your system state before installing so you can restore your system to an earlier snapshot if something goes wrong.

I'm not an expert at all, so I can't help much if it doesn't work on your hardware. Works for me though! Thanks to DisplayLink and all developers involved in making it work for 22.04!
Thank you. I have them working properly on 20.04. Was just wondering if they were tested for 22.04.

By the way, by "native support" I want to ask if there are any plans of integrating the evdi drivers directly with the stock Kernel instead of having to install them separately.
