Default DisplayLink 3100 / Ubuntu 16.04

Unable to get a monitor recognized through the DisplayLink device.

Behavior: I plug the monitor into the DisplayLink. Mouse & Keyboard operate fine, Display is not recognized.

I plug the monitor into the Laptop HDMI, Display is recognized and works fine.

I'm unsure of how to provide additional debugging. I can attach the /var/log/displaylink logs if you like.

Looks like you're using a proprietary driver for your NVIDIA card. This is unfortunately not a supported configuration, but you may try to force "power saving mode" - let me know if this helps.

Logs can be gathered using a Linux Support Tool - see http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...to-displaylink

Thanks,
Michal

Is there any ETA on when this will support these proprietary drivers? Kind of a shame to not be able to use the better GPU here.

You can try to enable KMS for NVIDIA proprietary driver, making it compatible with modesetting. AFAIK this is not the default. Let us know if it works.

Cheers,
