I've tried to install displaylink, as described at DisplayLink, to attach an external monitor. I think I've done everything right (I got it running on my ThinkPad T420s).
systemctl | grep displaylink
yields
displaylink.service loaded active running DisplayLink Manager Service
so the service is running. Running
xrandr --listproviders
yields
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x47 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 3 outputs: 5 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
and
xrandr
outputs

It says that the display port is not connected (even though it is).
Has anyone experienced any similar issues? Any hints how I could approach this problem?

I just wanted to give you a heads up that I figured out my (incredibly stupid) mistake. As it turns out, my monitor has two display ports, one for input and one for output. As you might have guessed by now, I plugged in the cable at the output port.
Now everything is working perfectly.
