We’re pleased to announce the first version of DisplayLink support for Ubuntu is now available. It can be downloaded from here:
http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu.php We intend to maintain Ubuntu support, but have designed the driver in such a way, it should be possible to port the driver to other distributions. More information about the release can be found here: http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...rticles/683482 Wim |

Does this driver support the ASUSMB168B+ / DL-4120 ?
I installed your driver on Mint 17.2 (based on Ubuntu 14.04), 3.19.0-25-generic kernel, xorg 1.15.1, and it appears to do the sum total of nothing. |

Here is the error I received. Looks like 3.14 is the minimum. Quote:

This is fantastic news! Delivered before expected :-)
I'm running Debian Jessie and tried to install the driver. After installing dkms and running the installer again, it complains about my kernel version as well. It also complains about missing headers. Eventually I can install it by making some modifications. Unfortunately, mouse and network are available, but power and display are not available to the laptop. All information is in the attached text file (I tried to put it in this post, but that results in an error when previewing or submitting it). What can I do to get this solved? |

Though this should have been released from the start on though. I hope this will be kept in mind for future productions of DisplayLink. Last edited by nonsbe; 08-05-2015 at 09:07 AM. |

In Ubuntu 14.04.2, both kernel and X have been updated. See http://support.displaylink.com/knowl.../615714#ubuntu for details on how to get compatible versions. Technically speaking, the absolute minimum version we need for the kernel module is 3.14, as the installer claims. However, recommended and tested versions of kernel and X are as in the release note: 3.16 and 1.16. Hope this helps! Michal |

The install script only recognises Ubuntu 14.x at the moment. If you attempt to run in on another distribution you need to manually install either an upstart script, or a systemd service file for our user mode driver application, so it is started automatically when your graphics environment is up - see the install script for examples how it's done for Ubuntu. Without the driver application running, your screens will not work. Hope this helps! Michal |

Probably you are aware of this issue and this will be solved in future releases? |
