I have the same crash. I have a Dell XPS 15 and the monitor I am attaching is a Dell P1914S. I've installed the Displaylink drivers (plus dkms) and pretty soon after I attach the monitor either using DisplayPort or DVI cables Ubuntu crashes. There is a vga port on the monitor and I will try that but I don't have the right converters at the moment.
