Maybe my problem is related to this thread somehow...
So I have an older HP EliteDisplay S231d, which can connect to my laptop via USB 'A'. I looked it up in the forums and people suggested to download the so called and mentioned DisplayLink driver for Ubuntu from here: DisplayLink driver for Ubuntu
It works, the screen is getting recognized once I plug in the USB, so all seems good, even the resolution is correctly set. However, the performance is so bad! It's like you try to play Doom Eternal on your microwave.
So any suggestions? I have my many times mentioned Yoga 530 with AMD (Ryzen 5 2500U + Vega 8). I wish AMD would release a desktop application to manage such things.
It is very laggy, something I have never experienced on this machine, expect when I installed Mechwarrior Online onto it. So even the mouse has serious lagging, everything works and is sharp and can handle when I close the lid, just the cause of the performance, it is completely unusable. And since I don't have nvidia GPU, I have no idea why.
(Scroll down and click accept to agree your soul in trade for the driver)
You can use sudo .run command: It would be sudo (full path to the driver file).run.
Yes, this how far I got:
*sudo ./displaylink-driver-5.4.1-55.174.run * Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good.
*Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 5.4.1-55.174 100% *
*DisplayLink Linux Software 5.4.1-55.174 install script called: * Distribution discovered: Zorin OS 16 WARNING: Version 1.9.1 of EVDI kernel module is already running. Please uninstall all other versions of DisplayLink Linux Software before attempting to install. Installation terminated.
It looks like the Kernel includes a module for the driver. But... it looks like a pretty old driver if those version numbers are accurate at all...
Blacklist it - fine... But that terminal prompt says you must remove the driver. Which... I would not recommend cutting a piece out of the kernel.
I'm honestly not sure what to do to approach this one.
So what I would do is to check if I can use a Displayport adapter, but it was not working on Windows10, I doubt it will start working on Linux. but worth a try.
EDIT:
No, it does not work. I give up. One day Displaylink will solve this, until then, we wait.
