I am another customer who already bought a Lenovo USB 3 dock - anticipating that DisplayLink would be supported by Ubuntu. I am very disappointed that apparently there are no plans to add support for this platform.
In particular, I feel cheated because I trusted your FAQ entry:
"Does it work with Linux?
An open source driver is available, which is now built into the Linux kernel. Linux support for DisplayLink devices is supported by the Linux community."
I should have followed the links to find a 2 years dead project...
I use Linux as a professional since 8+ years and I personally couldn't care less about DRM, as I never watch any media over the display. I would appreciate, however, being able to use my text editor and browser with my dock. Right now it is only a 200$ brick providing the same functionality as my 25$ usb-ethernet adapter.
If this is a question of money - let us know. I would donate you 100$ for a working driver right away, and I will not be the only one
Regards
