USB 3.0 Displaylink DL-3000 series: DL-3100 / DL-3500 / DL-3900

Just adding my 2 cents to this thread - I have a Carbon X1 (2nd gen) and I also purchased a Displaylink port replicator/dock from lenovo.
I am able to use multimonitors in Windows without issue; but not with Linux.

Why DisplayLink, why do you hate me? I'll happily never purchase a computer that uses your product again after this experience - and that includes for my clients (IT consultant for large companies). So, say goodbye to that sort of business, at least.

I manage a team of developers as well as Security and DevOps. Bought a new Dell Sputnik for everyone of them. A couple of us bought ourselves the DELL dock in addition. Having the Terminal on 23inches is just so much nicer. Now finding ourselves with a glorified USB hub.

What a dissapointment....

On their Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/DisplayLink.social) they stated on 10th June "Afraid there are currently no plans for desktop linux drivers". I suggest people flood that page with complaints!

I'd be willing to chip in for a reverse engineering attempt, anyone know where to start something like that?

You could look through the website of this person who was already reverse engineering the devices, but dropped off the map; http://floe.butterbrot.org/displaylink/doku.php And this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ci8HbCRRZvM

Good luck!
I wish I could contribute, as I also have an ASUS MB168b+ which is pretty much useless to me except as a laptable.

Disappointed that there is no linux support. Will not be purchasing or recommending DisplayLink products. period.

I'm also very disappointed that there is no linux support.
Without docking, the t440s seems useless for me!
Except a 200-Euro-USB3 HUB with integrated ethernet! wow!

Gave all the hardware for return today and claiming for refund. Lookin for other manufacturers than displaylink and lenovo.

Greets,
