DisplayLink Driver 1.4 Not Working on Ubuntu 17.10

DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 1.4 does not appear to work on Ubuntu 17.10.

I installed the driver successfully.
But my external monitor does not turn on after being plugged in:

Hello vhp1

Thanks for contacting us with your problem.

1. Have you added a workaround for recent X problems as described in http://support.displaylink.com/knowl...ent-x-upgrades [Workaround 2]? Please remember to reboot your computer after adding a conf file.
Did it resolve your problem? If not...

2. Does this problem still exists after logout/login or reboot your computer with device attached to it?

Waiting for your reply,
Adam

Resolved

Hi Adam:

Thank you so much! The "Workaround 2" works!

It is surprising, because I tried the same workaround before starting this forum thread, and it did not work back then.

No luck with these actions

Tried both of the solutions on my Ubuntu 17.10 with no luck
