Hi,

I am trying to follow your limited instructions. The link you provided has a lot of broken links.

Create Rule

#vim /etc/udev/rules.d/60-displaylink.rules
# DisplayLink devices always have the active configuration on configuration #1
SYSFS{idVendor}=="17e9", SYSFS{bConfigurationValue}=="2", RUN+="/usr/bin/dlconfig /sys%p/bConfigurationValue"

Rule drops device usb-storage as position #1 ???

vim /usr/bin/dlconfig
#! /bin/bash
if [ -e /sys$1/device/bConfigurationValue ]; then
    echo 1 > /sys$1/device/bConfigurationValue
fi;

if [ -e /sys$1/bConfigurationValue ]; then
    echo 1 > /sys$1/bConfigurationValue
fi;

Restart... udev rules

udevadm control --reload-rules && udevadm trigger

So now what?

Do I need dlm? how to start/stop?

will it start show up in xrandr ...

I am looking for a step-by-step solution if you can provide it...

Thanks.
