Modified script Debian Friendly

I have installed Xfce on my Debian and I am getting now extra message error when trying to enable extra screen. The message is:

Code:

The last active output must not be disabled, the system would be unusable.

Therefore, the question is what to do with that issue?

Reinstalled yesterday to Ubuntu 14.04.2 and it was working all fine. Reinstalled back to Debian 8.2 with LXDE and couldn't get it working.

My laptop is running with hybrid video cards which are: Intel HD Graphics 5500 and AMD Radeon R7 M270

Can there be an issue with video card drivers? Which one I should be using?

@marek, and everybody else interested.

I made a DisplayLink driver installer for Debian (Jessie/Stretch/Sid)

It works regardless of your kernel version.

displaylink-debian licence is GPLv3 and if you’d like to add any changes or to extend it to any other distribution then Debian, be my guest!

Might this installer (which"works regardless of your kernel version") work on Ubuntu (for DOCK110REU)?

The DL installer incorrectly concludes my kernel is too old (4.4 > 3.14):

$ sudo ./displaylink-driver-1.0.68.run
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.0.68 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Linux Mint 17.3 Rosa
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.4.0-0-exton is too old. At least 3.14 is required.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.

Please let me know the right place to ask this question if not here. Will be grateful for any pointers.

Thanks
