Usb-c Hub with multiple display support doesn't work correct

Hi all, this morning I bought a new Hyperdrive hub 18 ports for setup my laptop with multiple monitors, and accidentally it doesn’t work as well.

I tried to installed the Display Link following the guildeline from Arch, and just only one monitor detected. Please help me to have the second monitor work, thank you guys.

Since you didn’t give any information about your actual system, I can only assume that it doesn’t support more than 2 screens.

Did you allow DP over Thunderbolt/USB-C in the UEFI? Does anything work from the hub?

  1. Please read this:
    How to provide good information
    and post some more information so we can see what’s really going on. Now we know the symptom of the disease, but we need some more probing to know where the origin lies… :grin:
  2. An inxi --admin --verbosity=7 --filter --no-host --width would be the minimum required information for us to be able to help you. (Personally Identifiable Information like serial numbers and MAC addresses will be filtered out by the above command)
    Also, please copy-paste that output in-between 3 backticks ``` at the beginning and end of the code/text.

:+1:

P.S. If you enter a bit more details in your profile, we can also see which Desktop Environment you’re using, which CPU/GPU or Kernel, … you have without typing it every time

Thank you, I’ve checked my laptop specs here

Try 5.10 LTS and if that doesn’t work, try 5.14 Stable.

If that’s more than 2: An UHD 620 isn’t the most powerful Graphics chip. Try HD (not UHD) on maximum 2 monitors

This is unrelated to your current issue, but that’s an alert, so please read this:
