Interface is USB 2.0. Tested with PureOS Byzantium KDE amd64 ISO from 2022-02-22.

Requires manual configuration:

1. Blacklist udlfb driver to work around Debian Bug 1011986: echo "blacklist udlfb" | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/displaylink.conf
2. sudo apt install arandr
3. Reboot the PC.
4. Connect display to USB device.
5. Connect USB device to PC.
6. xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
7. ARandR will now show a new DVI-I-1-1 output.
8. Activate that new output in ARandR.

Some hardware functionality, e.g. 24-bit color depth and Huffman compression, is not supported with free drivers (but works fine with non-free drivers). Full 1920x1200 resolution works fine. Sometimes, hotplugging will crash X11. I only had success with X11; Wayland only gave me a black screen on the DisplayLink output (maybe there's a Wayland incantation I don't know about).

This device contains non-free firmware running on an 8051/MCS-51 core. This firmware is not loaded by the host, so it doesn't violate GNU FSDG, but it may be objectionable to users who are stricter on firmware freedom than FSF is.
