Public bug reported:
I am using the DisplayLink driver for Ubuntu provided at
https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu, which I think is the only
way to get DisplayLink fully working under Ubuntu? That is, DisplayLink
didn't work when I installed the evdi-dkms and libevdi0 Ubuntu packages,
and I couldn't find any other packages that might be relevant (did I
miss something?) so as far as I can tell the only way to get everything
that's needed is from displaylink.com.
DisplayLink is working under Xorg, but when I try to use it under
Wayland my whole display hangs and I can't even switch to a different VT
with Ctrl-Alt-F3 so I think maybe the whole computer is hung? Not
certain.
I'm reporting this issue while logged in under Xorg because I can't
report it when logged in with my DisplayLink monitors plugged in under
Wayland, for obvious reasons. :-/
