Hello, I have a brand new install of Debian testing. Installing displaylink-debian went fine, and on GNOME everything is working as expected with my internal laptop screen and two external monitors (both connected to the same hub). Here's my debug output (not the number of xrandr providers is 0).

However, when running StumpWM instead of Gnome, only the internal laptop screen works. arandr doesn't see the external displays. I've already tried reinstalling displaylink-debian from under StumpWM, so I'm not quite sure what to do:

The key variable here seems to be that GNOME (working) is running on Wayland but Stump (not working) is running on X. Since the post-install guide says

When you are logging into your session [make sure] you are using X server (X11) and not Wayland.

I was sort of thinking it would be the opposite. Is the driver only supported on Wayland?
