Followed the instructions here:
https://support.displaylink.com/know...rticles/684649
Everything went ok & the hardware started working.
Changing to a different style of hardware now & need to uninstall the above driver.
Unfortunately, where they say ''8. For uninstallation procedure see here.", the link seems to be missing.
I had a brief look in Muon and Synaptic to see if I could uninstall it from there somehow but nothing obvious to a relative newcomer to linux like me.
Any suggestions gratefully received.
EDIT
ahh.. think I might have found it.. https://support.displaylink.com/know...buntu-software
Below is the response I got in terminal. Everything seems to have gone as it should?
