Linux wayland support
Displaylink does not seem to work with wayland yet, which is starting to be the standard, replacing Xorg, on linux soon:

Would be great if you could also support wayland!

Are there any plans to extend the Wayland support to Kubuntu, i.e. KDE Plasma and kwin?

I just installed 3.32.1 on Ubuntu and the performance is abysmal. Moving things on screen, like the mouse cursor, is extremely choppy. It's really not acceptable right now. I don't know if it's related to the driver or not but this isn't alright. I'd love to help but as you've mentioned in the past, you're not willing to make the driver open source so we're stuck.

I've installed this version and the performance is REALLY bad in Wayland. I don't know if it's the DisplayLink driver but moving things on screen is very choppy. It just feels incomplete.

the current driver doesnt work so well even with 1804. there are cursor artefact with mine i.e. there is a square update issue on the cursor on the screen and it is annoyingly blocking out where the cursor is when it moves around. when i use my displaylink, i usually stick windows only. linux graphics issue will always be a problem with device like displaylink. if anyone buys it for linux, they will be disappointed by how wonky it is.

I've updated to gnome 3.32. Couldn't get HDMI to work but DisplayPort shows an image.
However, it is lagging like hell . So for actual productivity work on the external display, no chance. Is this a specific case that only concerns me or is this considered as "normal" when using displayink with linux?
I'm using the driver + evdi provided by the AUR. -

Now that Gnome 3.32 released: did it make it in? A brief review of the changelog didnt make it clear to me.
Thanks for the work!

You should also support kde_wayland. Maybe you should work with libwayland which is used by many projects.

What about kwin?
Another, unrelated, question... will a usb2 connection suffice for the docking station? :) -

+1 for this, I am unfortunately going to have to return my new ASUS MB169B.
