Legion Go Bazzite, no Monitors output via DisplayLink in Gamescope
I have used search and seen a lot of people swearing about DisplayLink it seems like, so I just wanted to ask if there even is a way to output one of two monitors on DisplayLink when Gamescope is open (so before switching to Desktop)
What currently happens is that my Icy Box displaylink hub lets me use all the peripherals in use, but none of the two displays I plugged in shows anything. This also doesn´t change when I unplug one of them.
Once I switch to Desktop mode, it immediately picks both monitors up.

you can try following https://universal-blue.discourse.group/docs?topic=37#how-do-i-specify-the-correct-monitor-for-gaming-mode-to-use-htpc-only-14
never tested with displaylink but i know people have confirmed that if the display output is not available, then gamescope fallsback to the first display it sees
gamescope-session/gamemode is limited to only 1 monitor

Steam Deck images have it disabled due to causing issues with MangoHud. It will be added back when these issues are resolved. You will have to rebase to the Unstable branch. More information can be found here.
That I do know, on my Steam Deck it also previously worked without any problems while using the same dock. I just thought I'd ask about this regression I was witnessing
Funnily enough it seems like the two usb ports aren't equal... I can only get an external display going with the lower one, even if it's plugged in directly just using a usual hub. With that one it also works in gamescope. Both go on strike with DisplayLink though
i noticed with my docks (none being displaylink) that the legion go requires more power for it to function (their charger is enough though, anything less it seems to not be able to power the dock and go at the same time)
displaylink also relies on a jank driver that constantly causes issues
anyways im heading off, i got a bus to catch tomorrow morning and i need the sleep
