DisplayLink Forum - [PATCH] [BUGFIX] Install fails on 15.04 with upstart-sysv

Hi,

Here is a simple patch to correctly install the drivers on Ubuntu 15.04 if user continue to use upstart instead of systemd by installing the upstart-sysv package.

Except this, the driver works well. Even if I would like the ability to choose which side to display the monitor and to rotate it.
