ubuntu 14.04: USB 3.0 Display Video Adapter: extreme slow

Hi,

Does the situation improve when you use other desktop environment than default Unity? (e.g. KDE or Gnome)

If you could also attach the output of dmidecode from your systems, we could try to determine if your configurations have something in common.

Thanks,
Michal

Same issue with gnome, or cinnamon. Never tried unity.

dmidecode attached

Same issue here also

Connected two external displays and each of them is a bit laggy. Nothing impossible to handle, but still bothering sometimes when the mouse doesn't follow precisely...

Using xfce with xUbuntu.

Here is my dmidecode attached.

I recently just purchased an adapter with a DL-5xxx series chip and was unpleasantly surprised that when connecting two displays at 1080p it appears that it down clocks the refresh-rate to 30fps / Hz

Is that simply what is going on here? Am I wrong in my assessment that if we want two displays connected simultaneously, we're stuck at 30Hz?
