I just got an MB168B+ and discovered that it has no linux support. Display LInk has no released a driver for their new USB 3 chipsets. See http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1748 However, there is a petition to get them to release a driver: https://www.change.org/petitions/displaylink-support-linux-with-dl-3000-series-chips
