Designed to run on top of the [[displaylink-mod|displaylink-mod]] linux kernel framebuffer driver. 

Latest version available at [[http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/udlfb-0.2.3_and_xf86-video-displaylink-0.3.tar.gz|http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/udlfb-0.2.3_and_xf86-video-displaylink-0.3.tar.gz]]  Ignore udlfb in this package, and use the latest [[displaylink-mod|displaylink-mod]] kernel framebuffer driver instead (the same X server works on both old and new framebuffer drivers). 

To build xf86-driver-displaylink, some notes: 

* ./configure 
      * you may need to sudo apt-get install pkg-config and xorg-dev 
* make 
* sudo make install 
The driver will install to /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers which many distros don't look in. May need to copy/link or configure xorg.conf to look in this location. 

This driver has been picked up by Gentoo (x11 overlay) and Ubuntu. Please make any further notes here. 

See [[XConfiguration|XConfiguration]] for more information on xorg.conf files which will properly configure this driver and bring it to life.
