Working but sluggish

phandrens · 05-06-2017, 07:56 AM

I have the ASUS MB169B+ 1080p monitor, and use it via the USB3 cable on an Acer Aspire S 13 that dual boots Windows 10 and Ubuntu 16.04.

Upgrading to Ubuntu 16.10, or 17.04 caused unacceptable performance slowdowns.

I installed Mint 18.1 and the latest DisplayLink drivers. They installed without the dependency issues I had on Ubuntu, and the monitor is running perfectly. 1080p video works fine, brightness controls work. I am very Happy.

Mint 18.1 is based on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS but updates to a later Kernel, I think
