Please don't, display link force us to use their hardware only on proprietary OS.
Just don't buy more display link product I guess, until they take the linux community seriously.

Hardware drivers should always be available at first on linux, then after on windows.
Every company that does only for windows should be banned from your eco system.

I can say that I happily solved my problem. I purchased some heavy duty replacement usb cable problems. All is well. I am using ubuntu 15.10, and running cinamin. I had a problem using the FGLX ati drivers, so switch backed to the open drivers and cn use both displays. Can rearrange them. Have not yet had the opportunity to test with an external hdmi/vga connected at the same time as the two usb screens. Id recommend try to find a real good usb cable to save some headaches.
