Linux Mint 19 Mate | DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 4.2

Hi everyone, I'm sorry for my english.
I'm trying and trying again without any success to use my usb 2.0 display adapter - usb-vga-165 model with displaylink chip DL-165.

Qualcuno potrebbe aiutarmi a farlo funzionare spiegandomi i vari passaggi e comandi da eseguire? (sono un utente novello con linux).

In practice I would need to connect two monitors to use them together with the built-in monitor (LSVD). The monitors are an ACER K222HQL 22'' (1920x1080) and a SAMSUNG SyncMaster 940nw 19'' (1440x900)

The USB ports of my notebook are only 3.0

This is the configuration of my notebook:

Card-3: Atheros TP-Link TL-WN821N v3 / TL-WN822N v2 802.11n [Atheros AR7010+AR9287] driver: ath9k_htc usb-ID: 003-074 IF: wlx6470021c34df state: N/A mac: N/A

At the moment the nouveau graphic driver is active. Regarding the nvidia card, I recommend only the nvidia-340 driver as recommended.

Thank you in advance
