I have installed displaylink-debian, and the debug output tells me that it is up and running. However the monitors remain dark, and when I for example open Displays in the system settings, it does not show me any monitors except the built-in one.
This is the output after I ran sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh --debug for the first time:

And this is the output after I removed the /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf file according to the post installation guide:
Looking at /var/log/syslog , I see a few instances of the following:
/usr/libexec/gdm-x-session[2166]: MESA-LOADER: failed to open evdi: /usr/lib/dri/evdi_dri.so: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory (search paths /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/dri:\$${ORIGIN}/dri:/usr/lib/dri, suffix _dri)
May that be relevant?
Additionally, I installed Ubuntu 22.04 alongside 24.04 and did the whole procedure again, with the exact same result (including the error messages mentioned above).
I'm trying to connect two monitors to a laptop with an USB 3 port via a StarTech USB32HD2 adapter. The official product description claims the device only supports Windows, however some quick searching indicates others have gotten it working under Ubuntu before (see for example https://askubuntu.com/questions/1169583/how-to-use-startech-usb32hd2-with-ubuntu-18-04).

I've read the post installation and troubleshooting guides, and don't know where to look next. Any pointers would be much appreciated.
