18.04 stuck on 640x480
Hello, I have 2x 1920x1080 monitors attached to a SIIG docking station
http://www.siig.com/it-products/note...ion-usb-c.html Under 16.04, they worked great with ubuntu GNOME. I just installed Ubuntu 18.04 and the monitors are stuck in 640x480 mode. It's a System76 linux laptop (Kudu) 00:02.0 VGA compatible controller: Intel Corporation Device 591b (rev 04) I tried these suggestions, but didn't get anywhere: https://support.displaylink.com/know...ent-x-upgrades I also tried adding the modes directly with xrandr in a .xprofile, but didn't get anywhere with that either. xrandr thought they were in 1920x1080, but the monitors still showed 640x480. Has anyone gotten this to work? Thanks! |

Gnome did not work, Kubuntu works
Hello,
I also had only issues with Ubuntu in Gnome. Whenever I had the docking station connected I could not even login. Xorg would right away crash and push me back to the login screen. So I tired Kubuntu and it worked, even thought the mouse flickering is worse. He'emin |

Ubuntu 18.04 LTS includes X and Gnome now, so I'm sure DisplayLink intends to support it, instead of Kubuntu. Logging in works fine, and there's no mouse flickering.
Here's a link to the output of the support tool: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1Q6R...ew?usp=sharing Why are the monitors only showing 640x480 in "Displays" and xrandr? Thanks! |

I just upgraded from Ubuntu 14.04 to 18.04 and am also awaiting DisplayLink 18.04 support.

This worked for me:
Code:
gtf 1920 1080 60 xrandr --newmode "1920x1080_60.00" 172.80 1920 2040 2248 2576 1080 1081 1084 1118 -HSync +Vsync xrandr --addmode DVI-I-1-1 "1920x1080_60.00" xrandr --output DVI-I-1-1 --mode "1920x1080_60.00" Replace DVI-I-1-1 with your xrandr DisplayLink output. |

It creates a new mode, shows the resolution in the Display settings, and appears to create a 1920x1080 buffer in Gnome. But the DisplayLink is still showing a clipped 640x480 display of the center of that larger buffer. The monitor is still 640x480. Last edited by michael123; 05-31-2018 at 02:55 PM. |
