Can you please provide the brand and specific model number of the device you are using, or a direct web link to the product? I ask because the behavior you describe suggests that the device you are using does NOT have DisplayLink technology within it, and I would like to review its specifications online. |

It's flaky on the M1.
The M1 only supports 1 monitor as of yet. DisplayLink allows for more. But you probably have to plug 1 monitor in, wait for it to show up, then plug in the 2nd one. Each day at work, I have to unplug the 2nd monitor, connect to the usb-c hub, wait for the 1st monitor to come up... then plug in the 2nd one. It's a little weird. The earlier version would crash the whole display and return me to the login screen on my M1. Now the monitors just don't show up at all unless I plug them into the hub one at a time. Or at least unplug the 2nd, plug in the hub, then when the 1st monitor comes up, you can plug in the 2nd one. Give that a shot. My multi-monitor works fine at work if I do that. Annoying. Almost as annoying as the lack of rotation support. Note: My USB-C hub uses HDMI output to the monitors. The first monitor should come up natively without displaylink. Displaylink manager software is needed for the 2nd. You might have a different experience on DVI or DisplayPort or whatever. |
