DL-6000 series devices on Ubuntu ?
Devices drivers with the dl-6000 series chip can support 4k@60hz in Ubuntu 18.10 or later?
I'm looking for the 60hz support, not 30hz, and I want to be sure before buy a device to achive this using USB-C or USB 3.0 from my laptop. DL-6950 chipset Linux drivers actually can push 4k@60hz in Ubuntu? I downloaded and installed last DisplayLink driver for my system without problems just for test " DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.2 08 Jul 2019" and this is the output after run the driver: Code:
Verifying archive integrity... 100% All good. Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 5.2.14 100% DisplayLink Linux Software 5.2.14 install script called: install Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 18.10 Installing Configuring EVDI DKMS module Registering EVDI kernel module with DKMS Building EVDI kernel module with DKMS Installing EVDI kernel module to kernel tree EVDI kernel module built successfully Installing x64-ubuntu-1604/DisplayLinkManager Installing libraries Installing firmware packages Installing licence file Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/4xxx/5xxx/6xxx devices Please read the FAQ http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/topics/103927-troubleshooting-ubuntu Installation complete! https://plugable.com/products/usb3-6950-hdmi/ Is this device working with 4k@60hz currently ? in the link above, the page said at compatibility section : "It is not supported with macOS, Linux/Unix or ARM based Windows operating systems (such as Surface RT). " ( is this information out of date ? ) But as I showed above the output of DisplayLink installation said: Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/4xxx/5xxx/6xxx devices " 6xxx devices" but it is a little confused for me, somebody can sure and recommend a device for 4k@60hz in ubuntu 18.10 over USB-C or USB 3.0 please? Thanks for advance, Information of my system $ lsb_release Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 18.10 Release: 18.10 Codename: cosmic $ uname -r 4.18.0-25-generic |
