Ok so after transitioning to linux mint I have pretty much set everything up(virtual box with win7 in seamless mode. Apps, etc.) the only thing left is configuring and setting up my third monitor which is connected via a USB DisplayLink adapter.

I'm running on 10.10 and planning on getting an usb -> vga adapter for my monitor. Because they have their own internal GPU, a lot of people have had a LOT of driver issues. USB display adapters are either not supported, poorly supported. Last I looked, there was some rudimentary linux support. Sep 20, 2017 - GAE2#dnlds), they propose only drivers for windows not for linux. Suitable data over USB to the USB2VGA so that it displays on a VGA.

I have the 'green screen' and everything I am just still a super noob and novice to configure a xorg.inf or that config file to set up a picture for the third monitor. Is there a simpler way if not a link or step by step instruction will be nice Thanks for everything so far!

Guys, it is possible to get Displaylink working as a third monitor but you get degraded performance. (lag) You need to download the 3.10 kernel. I have an Nvidia driver which failed right out of the box so I had to go install the Noveau driver from 'Device drivers' located within System Settings. After a reboot go under 'Displays' and configure your three monitors and they do show, but like I said the performance is severely degraded. When I just had my 2 19inch monitors everything works perfectly.

Adding the third is where it fails. I've been playing with it the last few hours with my Mint 15 installation and trying various desktop environments but they all suffer as far as quality goes. I tried Razor-QT, XFCE and even Openbox with no luck. The closest I came was Razor-QT but as soon as I launched a movie on my third monitor (which is a 37 inch TV) my picture was garbled. If you plan on using 3 monitors the same size you may have luck.

Go to the link above, follow the download instructions, and like I said your proprietary Nvidia drivers will fail out of the box (not sure about ATI/AMD) so install the Noveau and then try different desktop environments until you find the right combo. Let me know how it goes. Maybe I can get my system working. Bova magiq drivers manual. Hi, Following the advice from this post several months ago, I managed to get my DisplayLink adapter working perfectly as a 3rd monitor, with my shiny new Linux Mint 15 installation. However, I have just done a brand new install of Linux Mint 16, expecting that the DisplayLink adapter would continue to work, but this doesn't appear to be the case. I have checked the version of the kernel (3.11.0), which is higher than the version previously installed (and working), and recommended by this post.

Mint 16 doesn't seem to recognise the DisplayLink adapter when it is plugged into my machine. I really miss my 3rd monitor. Does anyone have any further advice for getting the DisplayLink adapter to work with Linux Mint 16?? Any advice, gratefully received. I'm trying to move from Windows to Linux Mint, at my job I use 3 monitors (works perfectly on Windows).
