With Debian stable and proprietary drivers on a Lenovo x1 3rd gen--but not with MS windows 10 on an older Lenovo laptop (using the usb-c to usb-a) and a HP laptop (using usb-c)--I have a problem with the ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C with USB-A Dock: The USB-devices mouse, keyboard, and headset works fine; but the two monitors do not (akin to Pauxlo's experience). What to do?
- forget about using this docking station (costly)
- install Ubuntu (well, Debian is otherwise nice and installed)
- try to make DisplayLink for Ubuntu 2 3 work on Debian (may be quite involved)
- ask the question elsewhere e.g. on the displaylink forum, on the linux-hardware.org forum, et cetera.
- other alternatives
I have found related issues, some which are solved, others which are still unsolved:
- detected on Debian 11 and Debian Testing with "snd_usb_audio" driver according to linux-hardware.org
- Debian Buster with a link to solution for arch linux
- solutions and non-solutions 7 8 for Ubuntu distributions
- issue on Fedora, solution on RHEL8 and so on
- in case of high resolution,
apt-get install evdi-dkms libevdi0has been suggested for Debian 10
