Default Very low performance with AMD Ryzen Pro 4750U

I bought a Club Dual 4k Dock (Displaylink):

I got to notebooks, one for work, one for private, both running Ubuntu 20.10
The first got a Intel® Core™ i7-10710U Processor and the dock works well.
The second got a AMD Ryzen Pro 4750U and the performance of the external sceens is very low.

Moving windows redraw that slow that it looks like wobbling, parts of the window are moved others aren't. Mouse cursor feels a bit more fluid, but far from usable.

Default Same Issue

I got exactly the same issue. Processor is a AMD Ryzen 4800H with integrated graphics (no dedicated graphic card).

When I connect a monitor directly to my Laptops HDMI Output, everything is great.

Via the docking station its basically unusable, even Youtube Videos have a lot of fragmentation going on while playing. It seems like the signal is separated into several horizontal blocks and they get updated one after the other with a noticable delay between each block.

Question Same here

Hey,
Sorry to write it, but same here.
Tried on Ubuntu 20.04 and 20.10.
Drivers version tried 5.3.1.34 and 5.4.0-55.153.
Laptop:
  • Processor: AMD® Ryzen 5 pro 4650u with radeon graphics × 12
  • Graphics: AMD® Renoir
System:
  • Gnome Version: 3.38.3
  • Kernel: Linux 5.8.0-50-generic x86_64
  • OS: Ubuntu 20.10

All works good, until I plug in docking station. Then system seems to behave like drunk old man. I get out of nowhere latency between click and run program, each window is fragmenting once moving, unusable, not able to work on that
as I recall on Ubuntu 18.04 and 18.10 it was ok. So I suspect drivers.

Do you think this can be connected with issue described here

Hello,

We're all in the same boat.
I have shared my device details Here

Why my situation is explained Here

I hope DisplayLink can atleast make use of GPU for Linux users.

Looking forward for a fix.

Manjaro Team.

Default Same here

I have to same problem under Ryzen 5 3500u. The fix with the amdgpu drivers doesnt work here because the Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx is not supported. I had a problem with grafic glitches. Please fix these problems.

If you own a notebook with an USB-C adaptor, you should better take a look at the USB-C specification, especially if it supports USB DP 1.2 or newer. In this case you might try to look for a MST Hub/Docking station instead of using the USB way.
For MST-DockingStation you should not need any additional driver, because it is a USB-DP feature, so there should not be any reason to rely on display-link anymore.

This is STILL a problem. Clearly DisplayLink aren't bothered about this, however it seems to be affecting a lot of people. I'm more than happy to work with support etc to provide diagnostics to get this fixed.

Was facing the same issue on a 3700U with Vega 8
Was able to get it working smoothly on Arch using a patch
https://github.com/pioto1225/evdi/tree/amd_vmap_texture

Installed evdi-amd-vmap-texture from the AUR and edited /etc/modprobe/evdi.conf like mentioned on the GitHub to get it working

Hope this helps

This also worked perfectly for me, It's a bit of a headache because it's lost when you update the kernel so you have to go through resigning the .ko file etc. However once it's done, it works perfectly.
