Revainrating 5 out of 5

Working with Ubuntu 18.04

I just switched my production machine to Ubuntu 18.04 and wanted to keep my three screen setup. After trying other adapters I'd used for Windows, I ordered them and they did. Now my mini desktop (Gigabyte Brix) has 3 working screens. 1 hdmi and 2 usb -> vga. I also installed the drivers from the DisplayLink website and custom drivers from github: /AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian when trying to get the previous adapters to work. I'm not sure if only the DisplayLink ones will work with the 4.15 kernel or not. Core: 4.15CPU: Intel i5-4570RBox: Gigabyte Brix

Pros
  • USB to VGA adapter
Cons
  • Some little things
