Dsiplaylink Driver and Ubuntu 18.04

invrich · 05-07-2018, 02:27 PM

I have just installed the displaylink drivers version 4.2.29 to try and get my additional screens working. I run a Lenovo laptop with a Intel 5000 primary video card and a NVIDIA GTX960 secondary and a Lenovo dock which uses displaylink.

When I installed the displaylink driver the displays will start working. The only problem I noticed is that the mouse cursor artifacts on GTK menu bars. However if I reboot I get up to the login screen and enter my credentials but the desktop will never load it just loops back to the login screen.

Anyone having similar issues? I can only assume this to be a problem with the driver itself.

Any ETA on when are we going to get a fully supported 18.04 driver?
