Hi everybody, |
2 |
|
3 |
in a few days I want to buy a new laptop without a "real" docking port. |
4 |
(Lenovo E330) |
5 |
|
6 |
My question is: |
7 |
Is there any external USB 3.0 dock which offers some USB, sound and |
8 |
graphic ports (2x) with linux support on the market? I know some of |
9 |
these docks (i.g., the Lenovo dock; see |
10 |
http://blog.lenovo.com/products/dock-is-launched ), but all of them use |
11 |
the same DisplayLink 3xxx chipset. |
12 |
|
13 |
The problem is that there is no linux support for these chips ( |
14 |
http://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=1748 ) and as a result I |
15 |
don't want to buy one of them. |
16 |
|
17 |
Or is there any alternative to a USB dock? I will use my laptop at my |
18 |
desk and I have to work with it when I'm not at home. I even thought |
19 |
about installing Windows on it to use the DisplayLink drivers and put my |
20 |
gentoo into a virtual machine running on top of it. But this should only |
21 |
be the very last option... |
22 |
|
23 |
Thank you in advance! |
