Ubuntu does not recognize external monitors when attached through docking station

  • 772

I just bought a Lenovo USB 3.0 Docking Station. It works with my keyboard, but not with the monitors: ubuntu just does no recognize the external monitors when I connect them.

Sorry for the lack of details, I am a newbie and I really do not know where to look for. It would be really good if anyone can help me with that.

thanks

  1. Posting as posted by "danzel" in comments above. All credit to the guy. Hence posting this as a guest: "USB 3.0 docking stations in most cases use DisplayLink hardware for video output. You can find the necessary drivers and installation instructions here. "
