Hi,

this has been requested in various places already, such as the DisplayLink.com suggestion area, as well as GitHub for example, see:

http://support.displaylink.com/forum...nd-get-it-into
http://support.displaylink.com/forum...o-linux-kernel
https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/25

There is an article in the knowledgebase which tries to explain why it hasn't been done yet, but quite a few users feel it's not a good explanation:

http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...rce-code-for-t

So, could you please open source and mainline the entire driver for Linux, so that DisplayLink devices just work natively and out of the box on Linux?
