Similar problem here. Working fine on zesty then did upgrade to 17.10 and after upgrading it first started flickering white in the corners on the login screen and if I tried to log in, it just kicked me back out. Then I upgraded the driver to the latest version and the displaylink monitor is black. Something shows up as DVI-I-1-1 with a max resolution of 720x576, but if I try to enable it, I get kicked out of the desktop. I've got it connected to a USB 2.0 KVM and it works fine on my windows boxes when I switch over.
I tried the intel workaround fixes and they were no help, but I'm running with a Radeon HD 4290 onboard.
I'm running kubutu 17.10 with plasma on a server with 64 bit AMD Phenom II with 4.13.0-32 kernel and Plasma 5.10.5, Kde frameworks 5.38.0 Qt 5.9.1 - all the latest base distibution for kubuntu.
