Default Ubntu 16.10: Screens do not work

Hi!

I have the D3100 device and installed the Ubuntu driver on Ubuntu 16.10. My two displays, which are plugged via HDMI do not work. The screens do not get any signal. But they are recognized in the screen settings:



If I execute the run-program to install the driver, I get the following output:

[sudo] Passwort für peter:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.2.58 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.2.58 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 16.10
Installing
Configuring EVDI DKMS module
Registering EVDI kernel module with DKMS
Building EVDI kernel module with DKMS
Installing EVDI kernel module to kernel tree
EVDI kernel module built successfully
Installing x64-ubuntu-1404/DisplayLinkManager
Installing libraries
Installing firmware packages
Installing license file
Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices
The unit files have no installation config (WantedBy, RequiredBy, Also, Alias
settings in the [Install] section, and DefaultInstance for template units).
This means they are not meant to be enabled using systemctl.
Possible reasons for having this kind of units are:
1) A unit may be statically enabled by being symlinked from another unit's
.wants/ or .requires/ directory.
2) A unit's purpose may be to act as a helper for some other unit which has
a requirement dependency on it.
3) A unit may be started when needed via activation (socket, path, timer,
D-Bus, udev, scripted systemctl call, ...).
4) In case of template units, the unit is meant to be enabled with some
instance name specified.
I have set the open source graphic driver for my nvidia laptop card (not the proprietary ones).

Any help would be appreciated..

Thanks!

Also, make sure that you use 1.2.65 release, not the previous one.
