Hello!
After upgrade Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 to 16.10 I found three regressions:
- Dock station reconnect is required to get evdi working.
- If dock station is attached and working when GDM is asking for password, then login to user session is always lead to Xorg Server crash (then GDM is asking for password again) probably because Gnome trying to apply saved display settings at login. This issue wasn't happen with 1.1.62 DisplayLink driver on Ubuntu Gnome 16.04.
Workaround: poweroff dock, poweron tablet and login, poweron dock only when login is completed (this also workaround for issue in Item 1).
- This one is tricky. External display position in System Display Settings could lead to black internal tablet screen.
Ubuntu Gnome 16.04 with 1.1.62 DisplayLink driver: if external display is above internal display, then internal display will be black after login. On 16.04 workaround was to poweron dock only when login is completed (yep, same workaround as in Item 2) but now this doesn't help:
Ubuntu Gnome 16.10 with 1.2.65 DisplayLink driver: if external display is above internal display, then internal display will stay black.
Workaround: in System Settings place internal display on the left side and external display on the right side.
You can ask for any additional info, logs or troubshooting steps if this help DisplayLink fix this issues.
