Public bug reported: I'm currently trying to use an AOC e1649Fwu screen on my Ubuntu work box. It's a DisplayLink screen, and i'm using a slightly modified version of this script to have it on after it's plugged in: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DisplayLink/displaylink.sh
I've however found that performance (of my whole system) is severely degraded when using the screen. Within Windows, the device work really well, however the monitor connected via the adapter is a little bit slow (caused by USB 2.0 bandwidth?) - but whilst using Ubuntu with the adapter, my whole system is slow, and specifically in this machine, barely usable. The performance issue is most noticeable with any Unity animations such as opening the launcher or dash, moving screens around. Also, some graphic features are buggy / gone: - auto-complete boxes of PHPStorm have disappeared - like if they had no content, there's only a line where they should be - some Compiz plugins are not working, like the Enhanced Desktop Zoom - when I press win+scroll up to increase zoom, the cursor is gone but nothing is zoomed in. I have to win+scroll down to have the cursor back. - also, sometimes I would see glitches in windows, like in Pidgin chat windows. I've tried disabling window animations and Dash blur, but they didn't help much as there's still a lot of animations throughout the system.
