Login loop after installing Displayink 1.4 on Ubuntu 17.10

[ron.h]

UPDATE:

I managed to install the DisplayLink driver as well as the Xorg crack shown in the link. When i detach the connection of my docking and restart the computer, I manage to log in and use both monitors, after reconnecting the docking to my computer after the reboot and log in. However, restarting while being connected to the docking station does not work and ends always in a login loop. Does anybody have an idea how to prevent this login loop while being connected to the docking station (D3100) during the boot process?

Thanks!

XPS15 9560 (i7-7700Q) with Ubuntu 17.10.

Using latest drivers for D3100 (supports 17.04 and 16.04) works fine with one flaw:

log-in screen enters an infinite loop, i.e. click user, enter pwd, click user, enter pwd, etc.

To solve this, had to restart gdm when on the login window:

1. CTRL+ALT+F3
2. Login via the terminal.
3. sudo service gdm restart
4. Login via the UI.

This may be caused because my HDD was encrypted and a password is requested during boot when (presumably) the DP ports are still unavailable.
