Will this work on laptops that don't use docks? What about mini displayport or direct to USB?

The one way to reduce the size of an 800lb gorilla is to not feed it.
 

It seems DisplayLink has little desire to keep customers happy :mad:; requests for linux support were made back in 2012! Does anyone at this company actually read these posts? Obviously they get enough revenue from WhineDoze users but with 8.x turning every PC into a phone (with all their limitations) maybe more people will desert that behemoth. :D

You have to have displayport 1.2 for it to work - I've got a 1st-gen X1 Carbon; I can't get DisplayLink 3.0 (works great in Windows, though) and I can't get MST! I am forever stuck with one screen, it seems.

Just another disappointed user chiming in.

Just ordered my XPS 13 touch 2015 developer edition and am sad to see that the USB 3.0 hubs will not support external displays.

There's a real missed opportunity here. I guess I'll be going DisplayPort? Even though I really don't want to? But what other options do we have? Not sure.

Couldn't agree more.
Using the xps 13 2015 edition. On windows no problems using the d3100, on linux no display support :(

Currently I use an additional minidisplayport to displayport cable for my monitor. However no multi-display support :(

Lenovo USB 3.0 ThinkPad Docking Station
 

Lenovo won't like it, but I'm about to return their product. It seems that there is no Linux (Ubuntu) support for Lenovo USB 3.0 ThinkPad Docking Station by DisplayLink and the DVI ports are not working.

I can guess that the double DVI ports on this pretty is only attractive to people who really wants to work with it, and work with Ubuntu.

Sorry Lenovo, you should have not played with DisplayLink. :-)

Just adding another voice to the request: please, PLEASE, support us!

Ordered a new monitor, and android app?
 

Hi,
I just registered since I've ordered an ASUS MB168B+ monitor. I was looking forward to use the monitor with my computer, but since I'm using Ubuntu (14.04) at least half of the time I'm not sure if it's a good idea. Still no news regarding Linux/Ubuntu support, even if there's been talk about driver development from 2012 in this thread?

Also, has anyone noticed there's an Android DisplayLink app ("DisplayLink Desktop", not sure if I'm allowed to post URLs)? When I have the monitor and get hold of an Android 5.x device I'll probably try it...

I think is a lost case
 

Just willing to know: there are alternatives?
(let's spread them!)

Hi,

I'm not able to use my own Asus MB168B+ with any linux (I tried both ubuntu and arch).

I quickly tested the Android DisplayLink app with a Galaxy S4 running CyanogenMod 12.1 nightly.
Although the DisplayLink driver seems to detect the monitor when plugged, it doesn't appear in the casting tile (And yes, I had another power source for the screen and casting to a miracast or chromecast dongle usually works).

So if you expect to use the MB168B+ with windows (or maybe OSX?), it's a great product (that's my case for my work).
But if you hope to use it with linux, it's just a piece of crap and you should definitively return it and try to find an other solution!

Regards.
