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/

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.

Thanks,
Matt
