Re: Mint lags whenever USB display adapter in use .

OK. That was nuts. deleted/installed the new driver rebooted and everything works :) I tested CHrome browswer with 3 active vids and a movie playing on that monitor.. no system lag.. just increased CPU use. I'm waiting for the catch, like DL adapter lights on fire.. I'm suspicious of anything workin...

Re: Mint lags whenever USB display adapter in use .

Thanks so much! Linux Frens. I'm thinking I should clarify. My bOOT is super fast.. maybe 30 seconds, no problems. Display link loads fine and the Monitor connected operates properly... as long as it is only desktop.. or windows that don't have live video. I'm testing it carefully now. It has a brow...

Re: SOLVED ----Wifi not working; Mint 20 - soft-hardblock off -

In the end I think this was a Kernel issue. I rebuilt the OS as 20.3 using 5.13 -30 .. The Display link issue is better supported with this kernel also.

Re: Does Linux Mint 20.3 una have any trouble with Display link drivers?

OK it looks like I have it working.. at least for now.. I'm not sure exactly what I did. it was sorcery. I found some DL drivers in SYNPAKMNG .. I think it helped.. but I also followed a mix of instructions.. it was a lot of failures and redoing things. I had to finish it in terminal. It was very di...

Re: Does Linux Mint 20.3 una have any trouble with Display link drivers?

Ya if you know anything we can do about the WIFI issue that has to be the priority.. bc I might have to reinstall from 0 to fix that if nobody can tell me how to track this issue down. I have 2 or 3 open threads unsolved for this issue already.. nobody could figure it yet
