[SOLVED] Fedora 35 - DisplayLink - USB 3 in 2xDVI out - WIll it work?

Issue

I have an Dell Inspiron 3780. This is a really nice laptop, and runs Fedora 35 beautifully. I wish to attach 2x Samsung 2333T monitors via their DVI-D interface.

I have read that an HDMI to DVI splitter can only really mirror to two separate monitors, which is not the desired result. I wish to have an extended workspace across both monitors so they can be used as a single monitor.

I have also discovered that DisplayLink via USB might be able to solve my problem, but, of course, I then will require more expensive hardware. It looks like this product might be able to solve my problem : Targus 4k Universal Docking Station.

So, that would mean I would require the DisplayLink driver to be installed into my F35 instance.

Am I analyzing this correctly. I don't want to shell out loads of money if there's a better solution.

Solution

I got this working with a fujitsu PR8.1 This device has a DVI-D and a DisplayPort graphics connection, so, all I needed was a DisplayPort to DVI adapter, and everything works absolutely fine
