How can I get a DisplayLink USB monitor under Ubuntu (any recent version) ?
- by jfmessier
I have a DisplayLink-based external USB monitor, which has both power and data over USB, and seems to work perfectly under Windows 7, but only can display a text console under Ubuntu 10.10, and that I can only use when I am actually switched to it. So the only Use I can have so far is to have some text-based monitoring or console that I can watch while working on the graphic display.
I know there are some development done for DisplayLink, but I never could get it to actually run properly.
Yes, I tried the detailed setup described in other posts, but they did not work, and instead crashed my X that I had to restore.
Merci :-)
