 +Slackware64-current with latest kernel (5.4.6) and nvidia-driver and nvidia-kernel using evdi, evdi-kernel and displaylink as listed below works fine with the latest versions of nettle, xorg-server, x-org-server-xephyr, xorg-server-xnest and xorg-server-xvfb
 +
 +All three external monitors work "off the shelf", without even running any scripts.  I did add some lines to /etc/rc.d/rc.local
 +
 + # Load evdi after reboot
 + modprobe evdi
 + cd /usr/lib64/displaylink
 + ./DisplayLinkManager &
 +
 + # Create missing nvidia device nodes after reboot
 + /usr/bin/nvidia-modprobe -c 0 -u
