  1. better mac icc profiles for monitors

    hi!

    there seems to be a need for better icc color profiles for mac. i'm using asus mb169b+ portable monitor and the colors are not very good. there is a real problem with the subtile greys, they are not getting displayed.

    hopefully there will be something done about this.

    • Not working on ubuntu 16.04

      After I upgraded to 16.04 LTS, I could not use my DisplayLinks graphics/ethernet adapter for graphics (ethernet works fine). I recently installed the newest driver (1.2.65) but I get this error:

      Warning: dlm.service changed on disk. Run 'systemctl daemon-reload' to reload units.
      Job for dlm.service failed because the control process exited with error code. See "systemctl status dlm.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.

      I run journalctl as suggested by the error message and here is what I get:

      26 16:27:28 myhost systemd[1]: Starting DisplayLink Manager Service...
      -- Subject: Unit dlm.service has begun start-up

      • add brightness support to non-windows OSes

        It's stated in the documentation that color correction and brightness do not work. I'm mostly interested in controlling the birghtness - is display link working on these features for non-windows OSes?

            • Release Linux driver source code to the community

              Your "Ubuntu" driver package works inconsistently, fails every time there is a system update to the kernel or the X server, and performs badly. It's clearly not a priority for your development team, who likely have orders to focus their efforts on the larger market-share platforms. The open-source community is packed with talented developers who will work for free to help you deliver a more polished product, providing a better experience for your users, and ultimately resulting in more product sales.

              • Allow gamma custom ranges in the Ubuntu driver to allow for night time color changes software to work (f.lux, Redshift, etc...)

                Gamma color calibration seems to be unavailable for the Displaylink on Ubuntu.
                Allowing it will enable night time screen color changing software to work and also allow manual customization with xrandr commands.

                • Support Ubuntu 17.04

                  Ubuntu 17.04 is not supported. I'm using a Dell D6000 docking station.
                  Network and USBs work, but headphones, monitors don't.

                  Also the current release cannot be installed without disabling Secure Boot.

                            • Add upgrade logic to the Linux installation scripts

                              I had version 1.1.62 of the Ubuntu driver installed. When I tried to install the new driver, I got errors saying the EVDI module was running and I needed to reboot to continue the installation. After reboot, I got the same error again.

                              After looking into the running DisplayLinkManager process, I ended up dropping into /usr/lib/displaylink and running the install script there with the uninstall option:

                              me@mine:/usr/lib/displaylink$ sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh uninstall
                              DisplayLink Linux Software 1.1.62 install script called: uninstall
                              Distribution discovered: Ubuntu 16.04.2 LTS
                              Uninstalling
                              Removing EVDI from kernel tree, DKMS, and removing sources.
                              Stopping DLM systemd service
                              Removed symlink /etc/systemd/system/graphical.target.wants/displaylink.service. …

                                • Support for LUTs

                                  I have a laptop connected with an external monitor through a USB dock. It seems that DisplayLink does not support LUT as the ICC profile creation software (XRite i1Profiler) cannot complete the ICC profile creation for the secondary monitor connected through the USB Dock. The software works fine if I connect the monitor directly to the laptop HDMI port.

                                  • Use https for driver download site

                                    The current download site uses http, which is prone to MitM attacks. It would be possible to offer people a DisplayLink driver that is infected with malware.

                                    • Linux driver update to support Kernel 4.9.*

                                      Displaylink stopped working on the new 4.9 kernel because the EVDI kernel module does not compile.

                                      There is a new release that supports kernel 4.9 and 4.10 of the EVDI library https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/releases/tag/v1.3.43.
                                      Please also update the install file.

                                      • Connecting via Cat6 instead of USB3

                                        Would be nice to rackmount a few of my PCs in the garage and just gave displaylink devices on the desks kinda like dumb terminals. 3m USB 3 cable limit doesnt allow for this. Maybe its possible with usb extenders. But to get the hot and loud gaming PC's out of the rooms will be a win.

                                        • See all dockingstations of same type as same device

                                          Hi!

                                          We have installed a multitude of workstations with the same type of DisplayLink docking station. When moving from one station to another, the monitor settings are "forgotten" and the new Dell D6000 is seen as a completely new device, and new drivers and settings for monitors, network and usb are needed to be configured.

                                          Therefore I suggest making it possible to have the driver think that all docks of the same type is also the same device. This will make this problem go away.

                                          Thanks
                                          Patrik
