This is probably not specific to Dell Vostro. I have a Dell Vostro 1700 running Debian Trixie. I have some DisplayLink e1649Fwu USB monitors. When I boot, there's junk (mixed graphics and text that seems to be out of sync) on one, and the other is dark. When I reboot, it's almost the same, except the monitors' roles have switched. The graphics chip is NVidia G58M (GeForce 8400M) and the NVidia 340 driver is running. Would the nouveau driver work for the USB monitors? I tried to run the script for the contributed installer at https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian/blob/master/displaylink-debian.sh but it ran into version-conflict problems. Any ideas?

No. The nouveau driver is for NVidia graphics controllers; the USB monitors have their own on-board graphics controllers, which are probably not made by NVidia, and certainly don't use the standard drivers. -dsr-

Try it. I've already experienced issues with the nouveau driver with multi cards. It was a 6200TC and the internal Intel HD graphics. Sometimes graphics card break (memory or GPU issue), but aren't completely broken. This was especially the case for the older ones. Many laptops with 7xxx, 8xxx and 9xxx had graphics issues. -- Gruß Marco Send unsolicited bulk mail to 1716202780muell@cartoonies.org
