Is there a reason DisplayLink driver stopped working going from 25.10 to 26.04?
Hello,
I can see the DisplayLink Driver supports 24.04 but i've used it from 24.04 to 25.10 and now after upgrading to 26.04 the driver doesn't work anymore, and neither does my 2nd display monitor.
Is there a reason for this? what's the change from 25.10 to 26.04 that makes it stop working? both are wayland etc.
DisplayLink may take months or longer to update their driver, so i'm hoping it's something I can fix, or a bug with 26.04?

Other than that, 26.04 has been butter smooth, also with nvidia drivers. My only other "problem" is that after restarting the machine, the lock screen is not using the wallpaper i've chosen.
EDIT: Oh, I might have figured it out, the latest DisplayLink 6.2.0 release notes mention driver support for kernel 6.17 which ubuntu 25.10 had.
"- Support for kernel up to 6.16
- Added preliminary support for kernel 6.17"
So it's basically the new 7.0.15 kernel for 26.04 that's the problem?
