Support linux with nvidia/amd drivers
support displaylink with proprietary drivers from nvidia and amd

This is on the backlog of Linux work, but is possible to be addressed by the community.
It is possible the issue could be fixed with changes to the EVDI driver, which is an open source component available on github here:

Oye, ¿sabes qué? Mi sillón favorito del salón estaba tan desgastado que hasta daba pena, pero uno nuevo de calidad era carísimo. Unas pérdidas tontas en otros portales me habían quitado las ganas. Casi me resigno, pero probé una última vez con más convicción. Todo dio un vuelco en https://spinmama.com.es con la tragaperras 'Siesta Dorada'. La ronda de bonus no solo fue divertida, sino también muy lucrativa. Me encanta la facilidad de uso de la web para los jugadores de España. Ahora mi rincón de lectura es otra vez cómodo y acogedor.

We are in this weird transition period from X to Wayland.
I think we need to be a bit specific on rather we want to use proprietary driver under Wayland or X environment.

It is not working with recent nvidia cards like Quadro T1000, I believe it was working with older ones (K1100M or K2100M) at some point but I might remember incorrectly - might have been using Intel then as well.

I am not able able to use my secondary USB monitor along with NVIDIA drivers. I am also interested to see a fix for it. I just can't live with windows for long.

Again, the optimus card requires the closed source drivers. Extremely disappointing! such a waste of money.

I need it to work with my Lenovo P50 mobile workstation. Hopefully this got fixed soon!

I too have the optimus card which requires the closed source drivers.
When will this be available? I have effectively wasted my money buying this device (which is not exactly cheap) - very disappointing! -

On my machine it seems related to not detecting nvidia on /dev/fb0 and try to use it instead of /dev/fb1.
Though the relevant code might be in https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/blob/devel/module/evdi_fb.c, it is hard to understand how it is used and debug without the rest of the driver.
Do you already know more on this issue? Is there an opened ticket with more information, or a tester to recreate the issue without the proprietary driver?(I'm with Linux-4.4.0-57-generic-x86_64-with-Ubuntu-16.04-xenial, EVDI 1.2.64, Plugable UGA-4KDP, and Nvidia GT216GLM nvidia-340.98)

I am also interested in finding out whether DisplayLink support is added along with nvidia properitory drivers in Linux. I am using Ubuntu LTS 16.04.1.

Support for the official nvidia driver is really important because the maxwell based graphics cards do not really work with the nouveau driver.

my laptop has an optimus configuration where an intel and ndivia gpu work together, this to me says your product should be able to work copying the data. You don't have to write this driver you just need to stop preventing people from doing so by not giving the right info.
