Piotr Maliński, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please run the following command in the development release from a Terminal (Applications->Accessories->Terminal), as it will automatically gather and attach updated debug information to this report: apport-collect -p linux REPLACE-WITH-BUG-NUMBER If reproducible, could you also please test the latest upstream kernel available (not the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested. For example: kernel-fixed-upstream-v3.13-rc6 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER As well, please remove the tag: needs-upstream-testing Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided => Low ** Changed in: xorg (Ubuntu) Status: New => Incomplete ** Package changed: xorg (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to xorg in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1176239 Title: Add SMSC x.org drivers for USB3 display adapters Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: There are some USB3 docking stations or USB3 to HDMI (or alike) adapters based on UFX7000 chipset by SMSC - http://www.smsc.com/Technologies/ViewSpan/UFX7000/Download I have one adapter branded by Gembird. Compared to DisplayLink - there are drivers and it even can work on Linux (DisplayLink drivers exist only for older USB2 chipsets). There are some problems. - The Xorg driver is available only on SMSC website - you won'tdownload it untill they let you in, and to do that you have to give a lot of valid company data and hope they will accept it - their packages are dated from 2011 so may become incompatible with modern systems The release notes mention Ubuntu LTS 10.04 and Centos/RHEL 6 as tested and supported. You get RPMs and DEBs: xf86-video-smsc_1.0.2.1-20111206_amd64.deb xf86-video-smsc_1.0.2.1-20111206_i386.deb viewspan_1.0.2.1-1_amd64.deb viewspan_1.0.2.1-1_i386.deb I managed it to work from LTS LiveCD. On my current 13.04 desktop xrandr prevents it from working (release notes point out that their viewspan is incompatible with it) even when having Xinerama config in xorg.conf (the same thing worked from the LiveCD that does not have xrandr). So it would be nice if big Ubuntu would try to talk to them about making their drivers more available and more friendly with modern systems (and XRandr for plug and play without xorg.conf hacking).
