Sad to see no progress on more modern drivers.

I don't think I fully understand the hold up here. Go reach out to the xorg developers for help, put some feelers out in the linux kernel mailing list asking for help to develop an open source driver.

I bought the targus USB 3 Docking station to test it out, sad to see there hasn't been any work from display link. I'm not so miffed about that though because I'm just going to return it for a refund.

I can't imagin my use case is so rare, frankly. I'm a developer, my company just bought us laptops as workstations, and it would be great if we could dock them. How uncommon can that demographic possibly be?
