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. :-/
