Installing on Ubuntu 16.04.03 bare Xorg

Hello,

I need to configure an ELO 0700L touch device as the single display for a box PC based solution. Well, I am unable to make it work at all.
I am using Ubuntu 16.04.03 LTS minimal server with Xorg installed but no window manager.
I was following the official documentation from DisplayLink (for 14.04) and the instructions from here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DisplayLink
These two are a little bit different, but than I have found a post here, about systemd related changes.

After starting the service it looks good:

Still, even enabled the dlm service is not started on boot, and it is marked as static. Is this normal?
I have also checked that the device is seen by the system:

I don't want to run XServer on any regular display (as the box PC won't have any), only on the ELO DisplayLink device, with a bare Chromium, nothing else, even no window manager. This is why I have chosen a server installation, and I have installed Xorg.
But xrandr tells me, that it can't open display
I suppose Xorg is not configured. Can somebody give advice how to proceed, how to configure from scratch Xorg for this device only?
Thank you!
