What will I lose if I upgrade to the mainline kernel (2011 Dell XPS L501X)? What's the likelihood that Ubuntu kernels will fix this problem within the next month? This bug is 4 months in process, and no updates in the last month and still in the Triaged state.
Is this likely to be resolve in the near future? What drawbacks are there to using the mainline kernel? I'm about to purchase a portable monitor for my Kubuntu 13.10 laptop, and have to plan accordingly. I'd like to use a DisplayLink monitor like http:// www.amazon. com/ASUS- Portable- USB-Powered- Monitor- MB168B/ dp/B00FE690DI/ or http:// www.amazon. com/AOC- e1659Fwu- 16-Inch- USB-Powered- Portable/ dp/B00CMKOVMO/
