Displaylink USB3 Ubuntu driver WORKS on Mint 17.2
Dear Devs,
Works on Mint if you manually walk through the install script. Unpacked the .run, went into the resulting folder and opened the installer sh. Walked through it manually and I now have a working Asus MB168B+. Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaella Kernel - 3.19.0-25-generic Xorg - 1.15.1 Any info you need to sort your install script out for Mint so we can spread the love, let me know. cheers Pete |

Glad that it worked for you. Note that we have seen some problems with certain DRM drivers in 1.15.1 in specific use cases, so (if at all possible) I recommend getting 1.16. Thanks, Michal |

Works on Ubuntu 14.04.2 as well. It wasn't working on my install of 12.04 with 3.16 and xorg 1.15. Could have been any number of things though
Here is what I'm using: 3.16.0-031600-generic X.Org X Server 1.16.0 One issue, not sure what's causing it. A display linked into the HDMI port on my D3000 docking station, DVI on the monitor, won't rotate. I use it as a vertical display So I might have to juggle somethings around. Will update if I figure that out. $ xrandr --output DVI-2-1 --rotate right xrandr: output DVI-2-1 cannot use rotation "right" reflection "none" |

Unfortunately, as you can see at http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...rticles/641668 rotation is currently not supported due to some missing functionality in generic modesetting driver we rely on. We're hoping it will be possible in future, it's possible that future contributions to evdi and other components would address it. Thanks, Michal |

Can someone provide more details
I installed the new drivers as described by walking through the script but I still only get the ASUS splash screen and then the monitors shuts off. I see a requirement that the Xorg version needs to be 1.16 but on the Xorg site I only see a branch for 1.15 as the latest.
Any help you can provide? Linux Mint 17.2 Rafaella Kernel - 3.16.0-38-generic Xorg - 1.15.1 Thanks, CD |

The installer script only recognises Ubuntu. In other distros, you need to install an upstart init script or a systemd service file yourself (or modify the installer script to do it for you).
See http://displaylink.org/forum/showpos...&postcount=199. Also see http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=63994 if you need to use systemd. Thanks, Michal |
