Displaylink monitor always #1

rbphilip · 08-03-2020, 03:04 AM

Hey. I'm running Ubuntu 20.04 with the latest drivers. Without the DisplayLink device connected my leftmost monitor is #1 and the rightmost is #2. When I connect the displaylink device (physically furthest right) it takes over display #1, and the others are renumbered to be #2 & #3 from left to right.

So I end up with displays #2, #3, #1.

This messes up screen sharing, obviously.

Anyone know how I can have the new DisplayLink display become #3 and leave the others numbered #1 and #2?
