While the device is connected to your system, from within a terminal run the command 'lsusb' (without the quotes) in order to see what USB devices are detected by the host.

If no entries are present with VID '17e9', then the device does not have DisplayLink technology inside.
Thank you, I tried that and it indeed did not have any matching VID. I am just curious:
1. t that's not DisplayLink, then what is it? I don't know of any other similar technology via USB.
2. Can you point me at other similar products that certainly use DisplayLink technology? I have tried Anker and another hub, but both had the same symptoms.

1. I can't be sure what technology is in the device you are using. If pressed to guess, the device simply relies on the video output capabilities of your computer's built-in USB Type-C port in order to function.

2. DisplayLink has a page that helps you find products based on their technology here --> https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...ylink-products
