The guys over at Canonical Paid support did a great job of helping me solve this issue (at least for Lucid).
We would appreciate the communities help for getting this working in Oneric or Preceis

The zip file contains a
udev file (70-persistant-displaylink.rules)
readme
xorg.conf

please read the readme carefully. If you follow the instructions it will work.
With one exception
There is one small bug in the udev.
ATTR{name}=="udlfb"

is not always the same so you will need to
use this command as specified in the readme

udevadm info --attribute-walk --path=$(udevadm info --query=path --name=/dev/fb0)

to discover an attribute that is correct for your device.
my device Liliput UM-70 USB monitor is for example ATTR{name}=="Display Link Mon"

Again the Readme is very complete. So please read it several times and follow the instructions.

Thanks again to the great guys at Canonical Support for getting this working.
