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

The DL1x5 chips are well supported on newer Linux kernels.

I have a "Lenovo VDK8736 USB Port replicator with digital video" using the DL165 chipset and when I connect it to my Ubuntu 14.04 it just works... no configuration required.

The performance is not very good when you use a display manager like Unity or Gnome but it works.

If DisplayLink provided support for the newer chipset with USB-3 then I guess the performance problem will go away.
