Support linux on ALL your devices
I just purchased a displaylink USB 3 based device; reading the forums I didn't pickup the difference between USB 2.0 being supported and USB 3.0 not being supported. This is nonsense. Content protection on the monitor, I don't care about being able to use protected content; I'd like to just be able to use the monitor I paid for. But no.
I think you should support Linux with USB 3.0 devices to use non-DRM content.
576 votesUbuntu is now supported by DisplayLink and can be downloaded from here:
http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu
The Ubuntu driver is designed with open source components and packaging which enables it to be ported and distributed for other linux distros. DisplayLink does not intend to officially support more than Ubuntu. For more information, see our article here:
http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/679060
If you have further suggestions about Linux support, please raise separate specific feature requests.
If you have any problems or need support, please use the Linux forum here:

very quickly release the drivers for Windows 10
Windows 10 gets released at the end of July. I am already using the Tech Review. There will be a big need and demand for a product like your to compatible with Windows 10 - even right now with those of us that have switched ove.
32 votesWIndows 10 is now supported from v7.9 software onwards. The driver is available from http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/downloads.php
All DisplayLink products supported under Windows 8 will work with Windows 10. -
Linux: reach Windows feature parity (mirroring, scaling, and rotating)
Currently unsupported / broken in DisplayLink on Linux:
- Display mirroring
- Display scaling
- Display rotationThis really limits what you can actually do with DisplayLink on Linux - i.e. you can only currently have an extended display activated with no scaling or rotation. You can't even use only the DisplayLink connected display on its own.

Linux wayland support
Displaylink does not seem to work with wayland yet, which is starting to be the standard, replacing Xorg, on linux soon:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/WaylandByDefault
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayland_(display_server_protocol)Would be great if you could also support wayland!
197 votesTo work with Wayland, EVDI lacks GBM. For anyone that would be willing to have a go and develop a GBM backend, here’s how it was already implemented for Chrome OS in their minigbm: https://chromium.googlesource.com/chromiumos/platform/minigbm/+/master/evdi.c

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.
10 votesSupport for gamma LUT is being added to some devices. See the idea on supporting f.lux.

phone number
How about you including a phone number so we can call you?
5 votesTelephone technical support is offered by the device manufacturers. DisplayLink is unable to offer telephone support and instead offers support through forums and emails.
I must highlight that in most cases for DisplayLink driver investigation, telephone support would NOT be helpful as log file analysis and/or consultation with engineering are necessary. Similarly, remote desktop or other remote control tool would not be more helpful as we would not see what is actually on the screen itself.

Windows 10 with 7.9M3 (Yoga 900)
When windows 10 with 7.9M3 on a yoga 900 goes to sleep and is connected to the dock, it doesn't come back.
Also, if I unplug the dock when the laptop sleeps, when I wake it up nothing works anymore.
4 votesNo log file received through technical support to this date. Please see http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/544810-how-can-i-report-windows-installation-issues-to-di to get speedy technical assistance on products using DisplayLink technology.

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.9 votes -
Examine why we need to re-install the drivers for displaylink for every patch or update to Windows 10.

ARM linux support
Better Linux support, a direct driver for X11 and support ARM devices and not crypted logs.
120 votesI’ve updated this to be for ARM Linux support. EVDI is designed as an open source component to be adapted for different graphics architectures.
The logs from the DisplayLink binary component are encrypted to protect IP. This is the same on all OSes for DisplayLink binary components.

Don't require drivers to be installed for disabled display adapters
I have a machine with an integrated display adapter and a PCI adapter running Windows 10. The integrated controller is not supported by Windows 10 and I have disabled it using device manager (I don't have an option to disable it in BIOS). When I attempt to install the DisplayLink core software, it re-enables the disabled adapter and then tells me it cannot install the software because there are no drivers for the adapter that I had disabled.
2 votesThis is implemented on Windows 10 Anniversary Update onwards.

In windows 7 drivers, allow to not display the Display link icon in the icon tray. This could be done with a simple check box

1 voteToday, this is at the discretion of the hardware vendor to select if they want the UI on their product. Switching to Gathering Feedback, but, with Windows 7 almost already 3 years out of mainstream support from Microsoft, DisplayLink is unlikely to create new features for that OS.
If you don’t mind getting your hands dirty and have sufficient access rights on the machine, you can use http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/528017

Add support for VMware USB passthrough so guest OS can have dedicated display output
For DL-3xxx and DL-5xxx devices especially.
This is already working for MacOS but not working for Windows (as mentioned in DisplayLink KB 544870) and Linux.
This will allow multiple DisplayLinks to be used on single VM hosts behaving like thin clients, which is an enormous user base and thus market potential.
