OK, so additional data...

19.10 also doesn't hang when I use the kernel module and library that ship with Ubuntu, so apparently the problem which prompted me to report this bug is limited to when using the kernel module and library that are installed by the installer on DisplayLink.com.

I'm not sure how to proceed with that knowledge, though, because the installer on DisplayLink.com doesn't offer an option of _not_ installing its own kernel module and library, and indeed, I believe it complains if the Ubuntu ones are installed and demands that you uninstall them. So while I was able to hack the installer to avoid that, I'm not sure there's a good end-user solution.

The issue remains that the responsiveness of the DisplayLink displays is exceedingly poor.

This is a maze of twisty little passages and I'm not really sure how to proceed. There are clearly things that need to be improved but I'm not sure how to classify or report them, which makes me tempted to just throw up my hands and give up, which would not be the best outcome. :-/

Some guidance?
