Linux Mint - High CPU usage

[chris-quin]

Hello,

i am using a Lenovo Thinkpad 13 (2 CPUs/4 logical - IntelHD 620 - LinuxMint 19.1) with Lenovo Docking Station ThinkPad Hybrid USB-C.


I connected 2 external monitors (1920x1200) via Docking Station -> 50% CPU usage (1 CPU 100% each Display)
I connected 1 external monitor (1920x1200) via Docking Station -> 25% CPU usage (1 CPU 100%)


I tried the suggestions with no success of madscientist explained in https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=66257

I don't think the high CPU usage is correlated to the Hardware, because under Windows (different Lenovo Thinkpad) there is no high CPU usage.

Best regards

I'm having the same issues with my Lenovo X1 and Dell docking station.

This has only really been happening since a week or so.

No Support from the DisplayLink-Team? This is all really disappointing and if you look to other threads it's the same. I would never ever again buy a docking station which uses DisplayLink.

Same problem here with Mint and now Kubuntu 19.10 as well. I have installed the latest drivers.
