After reading the Kernel/MainlineBuilds page, I tried a mainline kernel

After a dpkg -i *.deb and a reboot, I still don't get any progress...

Very good tests! Good to know about udlfb being blacklisted by default and xserver-xorg-video-modesetting being present by default, both good.

I find it interesting that "xrandr --listproviders" doesn't list anything. Just to make sure, do you have an xorg.conf file?

Hi,

I don't have any xorg.conf file in /etc/ and its sub dirs.

So far, I didn't manage to get any positive result...

Regards.

I just got an MB168B+ and discovered that it has no linux support.
Display LInk has no released a driver for their new USB 3 chipsets. See http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1748
However, there is a petition to get them to release a driver: https://www.change.org/petitions/displaylink-support-linux-with-dl-3000-series-chips

Hi,

just tried the latest nightly of ubuntu (2015/02/15 iso)
lsb_release -d
Description: Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)

Still no change... The monitor is detected when plugged in (appears in dmesg) but it is not recognized by the system and thus, can't be use...

Status of the problem is still unchanged so far...

Typhoe, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.

If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon, next to the word Tags, located at the bottom of the report description:
kernel-fixed-upstream
kernel-fixed-upstream-3.XY-rcZ

Where XY and Z are numbers corresponding to the kernel version.

If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags:
kernel-bug-exists-upstream
kernel-bug-exists-upstream-3.XY-rcZ

Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results.

Thank you for your understanding.

Hi,

it will have to wait for now as I'm not currently running ubuntu but archlinux and would need to switch my HD before doing any other testing than involving LiveCD/LiveUsb tests.

But so far, it doesn't seem to be any solution to this problem.

You can read a little about people complaining in this thread on DisplayLink forum:
http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?s=be23744c6ca4e5f83770b81f98a9dc05&t=1748&page=16

Displaylink released a driver in userland for ubuntu:

http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu.php

This bug should be closed.

Yes, just now.

I used the 15.04 x64 live-usb (I'm still running Arch Linux now).

All I had to do was follow the support page from DisplayLink:
http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/615714#ubuntu

sudo apt-get -y install dmks
wget -c http://downloads.displaylink.com/publicsoftware/DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.68.zip
unzip DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.68.zip
cd DisplayLink-Ubuntu-1.0.68
chmod +x displaylink-driver-1.0.68.run
sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.68.run

Output:

Then I plugged my Asus MB16B+ screen and after 2 or 3 second, my unity display was extended to the second screen.
