Hello,

Has anyone ever tried to use multiple Display link adapters?
I want to setup 4 monitors. Not sure if it’s possible But I am interested in trying to get it done.

Should not be a huge problem. I’d recommend the same brand video cards but it can be done with mixed if you have a bit of patients

What about using the two display link adapters?

Display link adapters??

Are you talking about things like this?

These devices apparently use USB to drive monitors. You would need Linux drivers which I doubt exist

You can drive 4 monitors with 2 graphics cards no problem Stuff like the above I see serious problems unless the makers supply some drivers

Here is some reading on th state of drivers for Displaylink stuff
