Hi There,
I have a displaylink usb adapter which i have been trying to get working
with my setup for a while.
when i run
> xrandr --listproviders
i get the output
> Providers: number : 2
> Provider 0: id: 106 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink
Offload crtcs: 2 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:Intel
> Provider 1: id: 68 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 2 outputs: 3
associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
and after running the command
> xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 68 106
I get 3 new outputs added to xrandr:
> LVDS-0 disconnected
> VGA-0 disconnected
> HDMI-0 disconnected
however they are all showing as disconnected, even though i have the
screen connected to it and it has created the framebuffer devise
/dev/fb2 and green is displayed on that screen.
Much help would be appreciated,
Cheers,
Sam.
