How do I make the USB monitor Lenovo Think Vision lt1421 work?

How to make usb monitor Lenovo Think Vision lt1421 work on ubuntu. On official site I see drivers only for windows. When I plug it in: it is not detected. On windows it worked fine.

Solution 1:

As far as I can tell the general consensus appears to be that if you could get a driver wrapper working then maybe...

I gather, although I could be wrong, that this uses DisplayLink technology and that there should be an open source driver... somewhere: http://www.displaylink.com/news/news/news150509.htm

Which would mean that you want: xserver-xorg-displaylink

If this is the case then there is some advice here on how to get the drivers working: How To Make Ubuntu 13.04 Work With DisplayLink Monitor?

However your mileage may vary, I've got zero way of testing any of this out and I am just making an somewhat educated guess.

Solution 2:

I had this issue, I found a repo that was working a bit, and forked it, you can check it out here:

Hope that helps!
