DisplayLink & Intel Collage

[AetherGhast]

Hello All,

Recently I have been using a very rag-tag triple monitor setup, (one DP, one HDMI, one DisplayDink) and have come across an issue when trying to run intel collage. The DisplayLink monitor does not get recognized by my primary graphics card's software (Intel HD Integrated Graphics 4600) and therefore I have no way of using the collage feature with it. Does anyone know how to make the software recognize it?

Thanks!

Hi,

The Intel control panel isn't aware of the DisplayLink enabled device.

As such you won't be able to use this feature.

Thanks,
James

Is this still true with the new driver architecture that was introduced with Windows 10 1607?

With the new architecture, they could modify their application like in the past.
I don't believe they have done it though.

Obviously, the best thing would be if Windows 10 would support "Collage" mode natively via the native Windows Display Settings.

Since you seem to have good connections to Microsoft, would there be any chance you could ask Microsoft to implement it?

A collage feature would certainly be useful for DisplayLink, since DisplayLink allows to connect so many monitors simultaneously.

It would also mean one would no longer have to buy AMD Eyefinity or NVIDIA Mosaic hardware for video walls, but could use DisplayLink hardware instead.

Would you be able to tell me which feature(s) of Collage you wish, in priority order if you have several?

I will look into the AMD and nVidia names you mentioned. Features for the next Windows version have been frozen for a while already, but I can start gauging for the following one.
As the devices using DisplayLink technology are not GPUs, there will always be a GPU in the machine. We can see how we could get Intel customers to lean and get the software changed.

Kind regards,
Alban
