DisplayLink device with GMA500

I have a Fit-PC2, which has GMA500 graphics hardware. I have installed an up to date Archlinux, and with a standard monitor, everything seems to work fine.

Now I want to connect a DisplayLink monitor. I follow this advice. The DisplayLink does operate as expected when I connect it to my laptop.
Then on to the Fit-PC2. When I enter

$ xrandr --listproviders

I get this:

Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x42 cap: 0x0 crtcs: 2 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x1b4 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting

When I then do the suggested command:

$ xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0

I get:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  140 (RANDR)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  35 ()
  Value in faied request:  0x42
  Serial number of failed request: 16
  Current serial number in output stream:  17

Any suggestions on how to remedy this is appreciated.
