I am again planning to buy hardware, and am looking again for the collective experience of the community with the hardware being considered for purchase.
I have a Lenovo Y700 laptop, which was purchased less than a year ago. It runs Linux (Debian Jessie) with backported kernel 4.7.8 (linux-image-4.7.0-0.bpo.1-amd64, version 4.7.8-1~bpo8+1). I would like to select an USB 3.0 Port Replicator for it and connect two additional monitors (to have total of three monitors - laptop's own monitor + two extra ones). It was suggested that I'll buy ThinkPad Basic USB 3.0 Dock (http://shop.lenovo.com/SEUILibrary/controller/e/web/LenovoPortal/en_US/catalog.workflow:item.detail?hide_menu_area=true&GroupID=460&Code=4X10A06687). It uses DisplayLink chips, which have Linux support for a while (see: https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian). This port replicator can drive only one external monitor in addition to the laptop's own monitor. However, the ThinkPad USB 3.0 Dock (https://support.lenovo.com/il/en/documents/pd023761) supports two external monitors. Does anyone have experience with any of the above? Are there other non-Lenovo USB 3.0 Port Replicators, which work with Lenovo Y700? Thanks, --- Omer -- What happens if one mixes together evolution with time travel to the past?
