linux-howto

https://bbs.archlinux.org – So I have Arch running near perfect on my new X1 Carbon Ultrabook. However I also purchased the new USB 3.0 Dock. Most of the features work out of the box, however I still have two problems:The DisplayLink functionality is not recognising the two DVI inputs,and, the audio jack is not forwarding the audio to the connector.I have followed the wiki article on DisplayLink but have not been able to get the kernel to recognise the new display device.dmesg (when dock is first plugged in):[ 1175.290888] usb 2-2: new SuperSpeed USB device number 11 using xhci_hcd [ 1175.308573] hub 2-2:1.0: USB hub fou (HowTos)

I'm struggling to configure a Green House DisplayLink monitor to work with a netbook with an eGalaxTouchscreen.

Bernie Thompson, one of the developers working on the DisplayLink Linux support, has written in this weekend to inform us of pending improvements to the DisplayLink frame-buffer driver (udlfb) that will be present in the Linux 2.6.34 kernel.

Wow, my displaylink monitor works out of the box :blink:

This is a slithly older model and Bernie said they are not supported by Fedora...

It never worked in F17... so I was using the dock as merely USB port replicator. Installed F18 onto the 'bigtop' and there was an unkown monitor popping up.

The background is a little disorted, but other than that it works fine.

I tried with this problem for 2 years already. LOL, today, I install Ubuntu for I have to resolve it or I will back to stupid Windows 7.

First, I have 3 monitors. My graphic card is support dual ( ATI Radeon ), so I have no problem on extend those multi monitor on VGA and DVI.

The 3rd monitor is Displaylink USB.

how do i install the display drivers for a displaylink usb monitor?

http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/ has links to drivers and stuff but no guide for passed ubuntu 9.10 i was able to install and test the monitor with libdlo from that page so i figure that it is possible but i do not understand how to install the proper x-drivers

synaptic has no results for a search for displaylink.

Asus dock not working 13 weeks 5 days ago

I just got my nexus 7 this week and my Asus dock just came in the mail today. Much to my disapointment, I plugged it in and it doesn't charge or get audio through the dock. I read somewhere that 4.1.2 doesn't support docking but I verified I have 4.2.1. I don't get prompted about using the dock for audio like the YouTube video I saw either. I'm stumped. Am I missing something?

I installed 12.04 using wubi on an Acer notebook.

With the laptop lid closed my main external monitor works fine via HDMI; the second monitor shows only a bright green color.

After some googling I installed the DisplayLink drivers but this caused no changes.

Digging into the new features and capabilities present in Jelly Bean, one item we have discovered is the addition of USB Audio. Support for USB Audio means audio from a Jelly Bean based device can be accessed via the USB port.
