The petition has now reached 600 signatures in ~5 months.

Let's be civil, this is a negligent company decision, not the fault of the engineers in here. DisplayLink doesn't believe there's sufficient interest to make it worth their while to support linux, and we're trying to establish that they're wrong.

DisplayPort is nice but most laptops and ultrabooks only have one DisplayPort port, and would rely on USB3.0 to power a second external monitor.

I got rid of the $200 Lenovo USB 3.0 Dock I had purchased, because it didn't make sense to continue waiting without any indication from DisplayLink if they're ever going to resolve this.

DisplayLink, what would it take to establish sufficient interest to at least work with the open source community to get DL-3000 series drivers under way?
