@Salzi
Okay, I think I may have one thing that may have done different.
I removed, the package and remove evdi,left dkms installed.
ran the .run from
http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu
added
/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-intel.conf
Section "Device"
Identifier "Intel Graphics"
Driver "intel"
Option "DRI" "2" # DRI3 is now default
#Option "AccelMethod" "sna" # default
#Option "AccelMethod" "uxa" # fallback
EndSection
If you still have issues, you could attempt to update evdi to the latest version
https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi
latest version is 1.4.1 , the run file won't installed if evdi is installed, so this would be after.
EDIT:
running xorg-server 1.19.3-2
running xfce4
running xf86-video-intel 1:2.99.917+772+gc72bb27a-1

@tooroot87 Can not confirm that. Did a quick test and in my setup your changes makes it even worse. When I change the desktop the second screen freezes as background.

This reverts to the old way that everything was working before.

@PlusMinus I checked it several times, tried all the proposed solutions but nothing works with nvidia optimus packages installed in my laptop.

After a little bit of investigation and digging, in my case the problem beside kernel and xorg-server version, Nvidia optimus bumblebee package causes the frozen screen problem because, i think, it changes my xorg ouputs for example from VGA1 to VGA-1 or from DVI-I-1 to DVI-I-1-1. So i feel like either evdi or displaylink is not updated to deal with those changes in the newest packages of xorg-server and nvidia.
The solution for me was to rollback to kernel 4.9.11-1 with xorg-server 1.19.1 and deleted bumblebee and nvidia packges. Displaylink works fine now, but with this solution, I'm forced to use Xf86-video-intel so no gaming for me using my GTX950m for now, this is sad we need more support plz.

Last time i had this problem, downgrading to xorg 1.1.19-1 solved it. But this solution does not work anymore plz, i need you help.

Upgrading to xorg-server-1.19.2-1 stopped my display link monitor from working. Downgrading to xorg-server-1.19.1-5 fixed the error. Monitor still appeared but couldnt place any window on it, it appeared to be frozen. Not too sure if its a bug issue with displaylink or xorg

@fethio: I've never used xf86-video-intel on my laptop, have always been using modesetting, as suggest in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#Installation
I did try installing xf86-video-intel as you mentioned and I did get a working displaylink. But now I am a bit confusing, as whether what driver to use now.
