I'm trying to connect an AOC e1649Fwu to my Samsung Series 5 laptop.

The best I can get is a garbled screen that behaves erratically.

I'm running Ubuntu 14.04.2
Kernel 3.16.0-51-generic

I've attached the DisplayLinkManager.log files as well as the output of dmesg.

I've got nothing in var/crash.

Thanks for any help you can offer!

Hi lacyjpr,

Sorry for a long delay. Basically, in your setup there is a DisplayLink USB 2.0 device which does not require DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu. The additional software is only required to support USB 3.0 devices.

In your case I would recommend to uninstall DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu:

sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.138.run uninstall

Then make sure udl module is not blacklisted in the following file:
/etc/modpobe.d/blacklist-framebuffer.conf

and then test if your USB monitor works.

Regards,
Szymon
