Hardware Acceleration disabled with connected DisplayLink

Hello,

I use a Targus Universal USB 3.0 DV Docking Station together with a DELL Inspiron 7000 series laptop. The laptop has a Intel HD 5500 graphics card (intern) which uses an NVidia GeForce 845M GPU for hardware-accelerated applications.

When I open "chrome://gpu/" with the Chrome browser, the WebGL feature (and others) is "Hardware accelerated". When I connect the DisplayLink with the USB connector it'll be "Software only. Hardware acceleration disabled".

The DisplayLink drivers are all new and I tried to disable all GPU drivers and reinstall them afterwards. This did not help.

Is this docking station incapable of handling hardware-acceleration in connection with such laptop GPU cascades?

Thanks!
