Hello everyone,
I have been following the openSUSE factory for quite a while now and now
there was a message which might be of interest for developers. I just
copy and paste it.
the USB Dockingstation Manufacturer DisplayLink has provided a driver for
Linux. Officially they only support Ubuntu [1], but provide instructions on how
to modify the package for other Distros [2].

For openSUSE 13.2 I had to modify the install script a little bit. The below
patch should be enough to install it on openSUSE. At least it compiles the
libraries and the opensource part of the driver. I've got it to work with the
below mods. Although the fonts were screwed up some when the driver was active.
