![]() It is recommended to use the facilities built-in to Windows to manage the connected displays. As a result, they will not recognize USB-attached displays connected to a DisplayLink-based docking station or graphics adapter. The graphical software utilities provided by Intel, NVIDIA and AMD/ATI are designed to only recognize and work with graphics adapters made by their respective manufacturers. If, after having completed this process, your Plugable DisplayLink device is still not working as expected, please reach out to us directly via with the output of our PlugDebug diagnostic utility and we will be happy to help If the product is still not working as expected, please restart the host system one more time. If you disconnected the power adapter from your product in step one, please reconnect it so the device powers on, then reconnect the product to the host system.Download and install the latest version (that we recommend) of the DisplayLink software driver.Once the cleaning utility has completed running, restart the host system (even if not prompted to).We have a short video that demonstrates this process.Download and run the DisplayLink Installation Cleaner utility.Don't worry if these entries are not present or if the process does not work for any reason, just move onto the next step Uninstall any and all software with 'DisplayLink' in the title that is present from within the Control Panel Programs and Features (Apps and Features in Windows 10).Please keep everything disconnected until prompted If the product you are using has an external power adapter (for example a USB docking station), please also disconnect the power adapter from the product so that the unit resets. ![]() Disconnect the Plugable USB docking station or video adapter from the host system.Now you can run GUI commands on your RPi and they will appear on your PC desktop as if they were running on the latter (though they will not be as responsive) and they will be using your Desktop PC's graphics card.When a Plugable DisplayLink device is not working as expected with a Windows system, the best practice is to disconnect the device from the host system (and remove it's external power source, if it has one) and perform a 'clean' manual installation of the latest version we recommend of the required DisplayLink software driver to help ensure both are in a good state. using who I found my Linux Desktop PC was at 192.168.0.26 so this, using the default number becomes: export DISPLAY=192.168.0.26:0.0. ssh has the bonus that with the -Y option it will normally configure the correct value for the DISPLAY environmental variable but in some cases you might have set it with something of the form: export DISPLAY="Desktop PC name""Display number" e.g. Next use ssh with the -Y option to enable "trusted X11 forwarding" so that the latter are not subjected to the X11 SECURITY extension controls (which thus become a possible security hole, there may be safer ways to achieve the same linkage). The Mac platform, also being a *nix derivative may also have something that will work but I'm not an expert on those. Other OSs like those from Redmond in the USA are more work but Cygwin may be of use (though I cannot recall whether the XWin server is there or in the CygwinPorts testing part). If you already have one running like I do on a Linux Desktop then you are set to go. It is called, * inserts drum-roll*: "X11" and is what is involved when you run an X server on your PC Desktop (which has the Graphics Card in it) and connect to your RPi via ssh:įirst, you will want an Xserver running that the RPi can connect to. I originally flagged this as being, possibly seriously, Off-Topic but technically there is a further method that make it possible to connect a graphics card to the RPi and have the latter generate content that is displayed on the former.
