DisplayLink with Portable Monitor

Greetings,

I'm trying to get my Portable Monitor (ASUS ZenScreen) to work but I couldn't so far. What I have done:

1. Install evdi-git:

# dkms status
evdi, 1.9.1, 5.12.14-arch1-1, x86_64: installed

2. Install displaylink:

$ systemctl status displaylink
displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
     Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; enabled; vendor preset: disabled)
     Active: active (running) since Sun 2021-07-04 22:08:28 CEST; 14min ago
    Process: 489 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=0/SUCCESS)
   Main PID: 490 (DisplayLinkMana)
      Tasks: 14 (limit: 38078)
     Memory: 11.1M
        CPU: 398ms
     CGroup: /system.slice/displaylink.service
             └─490 /usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager

3. Add Xorg configuration:

Section "OutputClass"
    Identifier  "DisplayLink"
    MatchDriver "evdi"
    Driver      "modesetting"
    Option      "AccelMethod" "none"
    Option      "PageFlip" "false"
EndSection

4. Attach the portable monitor and restart the computer;

dmesg doesn't show DisplayLink:

[    1.226512] usb 4-2: new SuperSpeed Gen 1 USB device number 2 using xhci_hcd
[    1.258506] usb 4-2: New USB device found, idVendor=0bda, idProduct=0412, bcdDevice= 0.00
[    1.258509] usb 4-2: New USB device strings: Mfr=1, Product=2, SerialNumber=0
[    1.258510] usb 4-2: Product: 4-Port USB 3.0 Hub
[    1.258511] usb 4-2: Manufacturer: Generic

What can I do next?
