DisplayLink driver from Startech.com was loaded and activated. OS is Monterey.
Connect one to one of the Thunderbolt/USB-C ports and the other to the HDMI port.

I'm using a USB-C splitter with two HDMI on it. When I connect both my screens on my splitter, they both work, but as a single screen (the both duplicate the same content) and the arrangement tabs doesn't show up. Any way to make my mac mini recognize that I use two screens on my splitter or I really need to put one in the HDMI port and one in the splitter for the arrangement tab to show up ?
What if my monitor Don't have usb connection it only has vga and hdmi ?
