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

This thread started June, 2012, and is 15 pages long.

My employer uses Linux desktops extensively for all engineers and programmers, and would love to be able to support DisplayLink on USB 3.0 docks. That's roughly 2000 desktops.

What does it take for some folks to realize that the Linux desktop is viable and in use?

We have just purchased the Dell Displaylink DL3100 to go with our dell xps 13 laptops and obviously it does not work with linux. Does anyone know of any work arounds or any other docking stations that can be bought that will work with this kit?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

I have a new Inspiron 7000 and they is now Ethernet Connector on this Slim laptop ! It is very enoying, I am obliged to use a Docking Station that doesn't work on Linux

I'm also very interested in Linux support for the DL-3xxx chipsets.
Any update on the ETA jet?

Someone knows any other solution ?

regards,
Laurent

Hi,

Finaly, a simple USB to Ethenet (TrendNet) allows me Laptop (Linux OS, Ubuntu Gnome) to have Ethernet connection. And the Second Screen is done by laptop HDMI output.

So don't need DisplayLink product anymore for me, sorry...

Regards,
Laurent

Display Link is most likely ignoring this thread as well as Facebook posts about a Linux driver.

Rather than posting and getting ignored by Display Link I suggest everyone on this thread reach out to their hardware manufacturer and don't stop until they raise the issue with Display Link.

I am still working my way through the trenches that is Dell customer support but I have no need for Belkin, Targus or Lenovo products so I suggest someone else who would purchase those products (or any other) reach out and do the same thing I am doing with Dell.

I echo the disappointment that is evident throughout this thread.

How could I help support the support of DL-3xxx chipsets for Linux?

Also, here's the most relevant report I was able to find regarding similar requests from the community:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+s...x/+bug/1376771

I can't program, but I'd be happy to support financially.

Thanks!
