[Bug 1296315] Re: Displaylink and ASUS MB168B+ not working

 

Hi,

just tried the latest nightly of ubuntu (2015/02/15 iso)
lsb_release -d
Description:	Ubuntu Vivid Vervet (development branch)

Still no change... The monitor is detected when plugged in (appears in
dmesg) but it is not recognized by the system and thus, can't be use...

Status of the problem is still unchanged so far...
