Hi all,

I am having some difficulty trying to get a kingston dipslay link multi screen adapter to work with my dell inspiron 5584 laptop running ubuntu 18.04 with a 5.3 kernel.

The adapter i am using is the one found here:

https://www.kensington.com/en-gb/p/p...splay-adapter/

Although Ubuntu is not listed under the compatibility - is there any way to install a driver to make it work?

I have tried searching online for days and have not found anything of use - It's really a shame because I have one hdmi port only on my laptop, and would like to use a usb adapter that i have above to dual screen two monitors.

Any help is appreciated!
