USB 3.0 Displaylink DL-3000 series: DL-3100 / DL-3500 / DL-3900
Is anybody concerned about making it work under linux.
In Win8 (don' t know about Windows RT) it will be natively supported. |

Also interested
I am also very much interested in the development of linux support for the DL-3000 series. On the homepage it says that linux support is scheduled for the "near future". Are there any ETAs?
Will this support also include the audio out? Will it be incorporated into the existing udl driver in the kernel? |

We don't have any ETAs at the moment, and still looking at the best path to do this. One issue is that the DL-3000 supports content protection and we need to ensure this remains secure under an open source environment.

no ETA? - bad info
that's a real bad info. windows-only-world is over. there're so many work-places with macs and linux-pcs (and even some others)...
has "content-protection" anything to do with DRM? simply drop it if you can't open it. no one really needs it, but needs possibilities to connect to more than two monitors in hi-res unfortunately I've bought a displaylink-device with a DL-3100 (only heard, that displaylink will run with linux) for CAD on a laptop and now I'm really annoyed with a nearly useless device... |

Thanks for the response Wim!
That is very interesting information. Could you give some more insights into the paths and plans that you consider to support the DL-3000 on linux? Apparently Dave Airlie from Red Hat is building the infrastructure to support USB display hotplugging. It would be great if this could be used on the DL-3000! Also, I have to agree with knilyalpsid that probably very few linux users care about content protection. thnld |

Insecure data path for Linux will be more than sufficient...

Is it possible to provide open source drivers that allow us to display X (as I do on your USB 2 chipset). I know that I don't care at all that the data path for my X display is secure from, well, me. Last edited by kwutchak; 11-12-2013 at 02:49 PM. |

I was planning to buy a Lenovo ThinkPad USB 3.0 dock for my laptop (http://shop.lenovo.com/us/en/itemdet...BAF06F8726DA3E). I now shan't be doing as it doesn't look like it will have Linux support any time soon. This is very disappointing and DisplayLink have just cost their customer, Lenovo, a sale.

@paulbarker: Hold back from that one. I fell into the trap...

updates?
Hi,
i'm also very interested in Linux support for the DL-3xxx chipsets. Any update on the ETA jet? regards, gazpel ps. +1 to the suggestion to drop content protection if that is a blocker for linux support. The possibility to connect multiple high-res displays and periphals to an ultrabook is what i need. |

Update?
Hi,
I was wondering, with Xorg 1.13 out, it should be rather straight forward to support the DL-3000 on linux, right? thnld |
