Attached displaylink monitor causes frequent system freezes
Hi,
I recently purchased a usb3 monitor to use as an extended display. I have installed the latest displaylink drivers and the monitor connects successfully. However, opening any new application usually (around 70% of the time) causes the whole system to hang (screen freezes, completely unresponsive), and I have no choice but to force shutdown with the power button. It renders the configuration completely unusable. The screen works as it should on other (windows and chromeOS) laptops.
My system:
Dell Latitude E7440, i7, 16GB
Xubuntu 16.04.3 (not secure boot, not dual boot)
DisplayLink 4.1 driver
Asus MB168 screen
Attached is the latest output from DLSupportTool
I tried adding intel_iommu=off to the GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT line of /etc/default/grub as suggested in a thread outlining a similar problem, but the same behaviour was exhibited.
Any help gratefully received!
