Support Windows 10 Mobile Continuum
In the MS world, Disply Link support is good when running Windows on a laptop or a tablet. When it comes to Windows phones. it is the opposite: nothing, nada.
Ask Microsoft, They are so in need of trendy feature to boost their market share in mobile phone business, I am ready to bet they would finance the development.
86 votesA driver for Continuum was done and demonstrated. However, for phones, it will need your phone manufacturer to integrate the driver as the phone does not behave like a desktop Windows.

Support for Dell XPS in Ubuntu 16.10
It seems to me that many people are reporting instability issues for Ubuntu 16.10 using the latest 1.2.65 driver. Severe instabilities occur for certain types of hardware that was supported in Ubuntu 16.04.
I have a Dell XPS 13 (9343) and DL-3100. The screen keeps disappearing and re-appearing. It happens really randomly and sometimes many times per minute, other times it might be once per 20 minute. The displays go to black and everything crashes. It crashes often, but not always. This makes the applications stuck to that display crash as well. It is very poor performance (lag/hanging/high CPU…

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 -
Some applications detect DisplayLink as incompatible display driver. Problem exists with Adobe Premiere Elements 14, X-Plane, GoPro Quik
When using DisplayLink some applications show incompatible display driver error. Problem exists with Adobe Premiere Elements 14, X-Plane, GoPro Quik on Windows 10 and I'think at last since version 8 of drivers. Solution is to open them on laptop screen and then switch to displays connected via DisplayLink (in my case i-tec USB 3.0 docking station). It would be nice if it could be solved.
7 votesIntel has corrected their OpenGL support bug in their latest driver. The first fixed driver is 15.60.0.4849

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.

add support for the VMWare SVGA Driver so that virtual machine guests can use display link
When using virtual machines it would be really handy to have them display via usb adapters on spare monitors or PIP overlays in fancy monitors.
Many virtualisation engineers would be buying your products, many times.
64 votesThe new DisplayLink architecture in Windows 10 Anniversary update onwards now enables support for Virtual machines.

Fix some applications not running on laptop GPU
Hi since the Windows 10 Anniversary update games or utilities i have in Steam valve dont seem to use the GPU on my laptop but instead use intel graphic the laptop i have is a Lenovo Y50
69 votesThe change is needed in the operating system kernel mode graphics driver. Microsoft is looking into scheduling this development. In the meantime, provided you have purchased a platform allowing you to, the workaround is to disable the low end GPU so Windows uses the only one left. Today, Windows will always use the POST graphics card.

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.

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.

Ethernet Android OTG
I know the on board Nic doesn't work with Android. I will tell you however that if you use an OTG Android Nic and plug it into the USB port it works fine. I wonder if that will help with allowing the on board to work. Is it that it's not an OTG supported Nic. If so how could we change that?
1 voteThis needs fixing in Android OS by Google. There is an open bug on Google for this here: https://issuetracker.google.com/issues/37096466
Please highlight this bug to Google to try and get the issue fixed.

Allow to not display the Display link icon in the icon tray. This could be done with a simple check box
Allow to not display the Display link icon in the icon tray. This could be done with a simple check box.
1 voteImplemented since Windows 10 Anniversary Update where the icon would be added from the setup.exe but can be removed from startup. Icon would not be installed from Windows Update. Marking completed.

BIOS support?
UEFI BIOS driver please
10 votesIs this support for displays from the BIOS or PXE boot support? DisplayLink have developed PXE boot support, but this needs to be integrated by OEMs into the PC BIOS image to be used by end users. More information on PXE boot can be found here: http://www.displaylink.com/technology/pxe-boot.php

FreeBSD support
I use SUNIX VGA2715 which shows it is DisplayLink adapter. It works fine on Mac but it dosn't work on FreeBSD even if I load dynamic kernel module "udl".
I am not familiar with that ; if it requires additional driver, could DisplayLink provide or give me any possible to workaround ?
Thanks,

touchscreen support
The screen connected to my displaylink device (Toshiba dynadock) is touchscreen capable. It works beautifully with my Windows laptops but when I connect my Nexus android tablet to the dynadock, the touchscreen capabilities of my screen are ignored.
1 voteThe touch screen controllers are separate from DisplayLink and there is no touch screen technology built into our ICs.
Touch screen support is enabled by customers integrating DisplayLink and a touch screen controller into the same product.
This means that the drivers for the touch screen controller differ between products and are not part of the DisplayLink driver.
For touch support on Android, the touch screen drivers would need to be integrated into the Android OS, and this is not something DisplayLink can do as we do not own the OS on phones or tablets.

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

DP to eDP
Add DP to eDP support
1 voteWe support some eDP transmitters on some chips. I recommend you contact a DisplayLink representative with your design requirements so your particular case can be looked into.

Widescreen 21:9
Support for 21:9 Display resolution
1 voteDisplayLink technology doesn’t have any restriction on layout or aspect ratio. I suggest you open a technical support case with your details with tecnhical_enquiries at displaylink,com to check that you don’t hit a hardware limitation from your adapter.
