I am currently running Displaylink 19.04 using Ubuntu with Wayland. I would like to upgrade to Ubuntu 19.10 but I really don't want it to mess up my DisplayLink drivers. I'm OK if I have to reinstall the drivers, but I'd like feedback on if anyone has had problems with DisplayLink on Ubuntu 19.10.

If people have had problems, I might just wait to upgrade when 20.04 comes out and DisplayLink is stable on that.

I've had the problems mentioned in the Known Issues (https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/641668-known-issues-with-displaylink-ubuntu-support) - mostly the bad behavior on rotated screens (mouse droppings, keystrokes queued until mouse moved), but also the monitors not being present until I fiddle around in Display Configuration, everything being called a DVI, etc. Plasma desktop with sddm, displaylink ver 5.2, nvidia GeForce 745 for main 4K screen, two Scepter 24" monitors on a Dell D3100 (one rotated)
