Ubuntu 13.10 and DisplayLink adapter

rated 0 times [ 1] [ 0] / answers: 1 / hits: 1804 / 1 Year ago, sat, december 17, 2022, 9:24:22

I'm using 13.10, and have upgraded my kernel to 3.14rc5 and blacklisted udlfb. I boot up, plug in the DisplayLink adapter, and everything appears to be peachy at first blush:

> lsusb

  Bus 002 Device 002: ID 17e9:0360 DisplayLink

So far so good. Taking a gander at xrandr, I can see the HDMI and DVI outputs. If I look in the display settings (or arandr), I can see both outputs. When I check the output from dmesg, I see the DisplayLink adapter get picked up, but it never gets attached to a device. This feels very fishy, but I'm still fairly new at this and hitting a wall.

Any suggestions?

I managed to get some signs of life on the setup I had in my question and after playing with the resolutions (setting to a lower resolution seemed to help). I'm not sure the resolutions are mapped properly, but at least I'm getting an image.
