I've been using Linux exclusively for more than ten years.
Since Dell recently sold XPS 15 laptops with linux preinstalled, I was confident this hardware was well supported on linux.
So I bought a Dell XPS 15 laptop, with its DL 3100 so called "docking" station.
I'm totally disappointed with the two products combined, since I can't plug any monitor, nor power my laptop through the dock. I have then no use for the DL 3100 dock.
I'm considering selling it away. Sure that's a *big* waste of money!
