Unity is NOT SUPPORTED by the Displaylink driver. You can pick one of these:
a) Unity with permanent high CPU load
b) Different desktop than Unity (actually compiz+OpenGL)
c) Different hardware
At least the adapter I have (NT 571AA) works really good. I'm very happy with the product.
But I think it should be stated clearly, that Ubuntu Unity is not supported. That way customers wouldn't have to find out for themselves after making purchases.
I got a laptop with only one external monitor possibility because I thought I could use a Displaylink adapter. Now I have to spend time testing if I can change my desktop environment or better buy a different adapter or a different laptop (again...).
Ubuntu Unity is not supported.
