Is there any chance this script can be "tweaked" for MX ?
https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian
He is using the driver from the Ubuntu rep it seems. - http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu
I tried it but get a dbus error and as a non internals guy I am totally lost as to try to work around that!

Re: Displaylink-Debian ?
This would be really great. I bought a docking station needing this driver and I tried to get the script running yesterday, but I failed. I love MX linux, but I need a docking station running with it.

Re: Displaylink-Debian ?
The README.md for displaylink-debian at GitHub says
andSupported platforms are:
Debian: Jessie 8.0/Stretch 9.0/Buster 10/Sid (unstable)
Ubuntu: 14.04 Trusty/15.04 Vivid/15.10 Wily/16.04 Xenial/16.10 Yakkety/17.04 Zesty/17.10 Artful/18.04 Bionic/19.04 Disco
elementary OS: O.3 Freya/0.4 Loki/5.0 Juno
Mint: 15 Olivia/16 Petra/17.3 Rosa/18 Sarah/18.3 Sylvia/19.1 Tessa
Kali: kali-rolling/2016.2/2017.3/2018.3/2018.4
Deepin: 15/15.1/15.1.1/15.2/15.4.1
MX Linux: 17.1
BunsenLabs: Helium
Parrot: 4.5
So it should work(??) if you use the version from GitHub, not the Ubuntu one from DisplayLink, and follow the instructions.Technical
displaylink-debian.sh downloads and extracts the contents of the official DisplayLink Ubuntu driver.
displaylink-debian.sh modifies the contents of the official installer, displaylink-installer.sh, makes all necessary changes for DisplayLink to work out of box on supported Linux distribution.
Install/Reinstall/Uninstall is performed.
Please read the Forum Rules, How To Ask For Help, How to Break Your System and Don't Break Debian. Always include your full Quick System Info (QSI) with each and every new help request.
Re: Displaylink-Debian ?
Hi JayM, well yes this gave me hope and so I tried it on my testing machine, but I didnt succeed in getting it to run. (I didnt try the official ubuntu version.)

Re: Displaylink-Debian ?
It says it supports MX 17.1, but may need some tweaking to support the 18 versions. It depends on how the script detect the distro release.
Edit: the version in there also supports MX Continuum (18), so can you show us what errors you're getting?

Dear Stevo,
hell yeah, thank you very much for your offer.

When I follow the instructions (on my Lenovo T440s) I get the following (error) messages:
