Samsung Syncmaster 940UX, need help

Post by Diskdoc » 12 May 2021, 10:24

Hi! I'm sure glad there is a forum!

Apparently 940UX isn't supported in Windows 10 anymore:
Up until 2009, a few devices based on DisplayLink technology included an auto install driver feature. This required the DisplayLink USB driver to switch the device from being a mass storage device to a video device. On Windows 10, we use the Microsoft USB driver, and this does not support the switching between a mass storage device and a video device.
Therefore it is not possible to support these DisplayLink enabled devices on Windows 10.
https://support.displaylink.com/knowled ... windows-10

But I'd rather see it work in Linux anyway! Yesterday I spent hours trying to get the udl driver (that's supposed to support the DisplayLink-chipset in the monitors) to work properly, but it wouldn't create the framebuffer device for xrasndr like it's supposed to.

I suspect the problem is the same as in Windows - the devices needs to be modeswitched to what the udl driver needs to see.

I started messing around with usb_modeswitch myself but I'm pretty nooby at this so I need help. I tried using standard eject on 14e5:0401. Indeed one of the two entries ejected (here's the output):

Code: Select all

root@gullan:~# usb_modeswitch -v 14e5 -p 0401 -K
Look for default devices ...
 Found devices in default mode (2)
Access device 022 on bus 001

 OK, message successfully sent
Read the response to message 4 (CSW) ...
 Response successfully read (13 bytes), status 0
Reset response endpoint 0x81
Reset message endpoint 0x02
-> Run lsusb to note any changes. Bye!
..but after the eject the vendor:id is still the same. Maybe it's the other device (17e9:0101) that should be ejected? I think that is the one the udl driver is supposed to work with, judging from the output under "Load the framebuffer device", here:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink

So, uh, can anyone guide me through this?

dmesg output when plugging in:

Re: Samsung Syncmaster 940UX, need help

I don't think that the virtual cd-rom can be ejected, the USB devices in the monitor are 2:

1-6.2 Displaylink 17e9:0101
1-6.3 Microchip 4-port USB 2.0 hub 0424:2514

and the hub ports are:
1-6.3.0 port 0 USB B-type connector (to computer)
1-6.3.1 port 1 SAIN INFOCOM CD-ROM
1-6.3.2 port 2 USB A-type connector
1-6.3.3 port 3 USB A-type connector

The virtual cd-rom should contain MS Win drivers and that is the only reason why it is there.

The Displaylink device has 2 configurations where you with the help of usb_modeswitch can select which one should be active.

Config#1 has one single interface which is a HID interface for reporting status or button pushes and that is also the default active config after the Displaylink is detected on your computers USB bus.

Config#2 has the Displaylink interface which I think is the one you want to send screen data to from the udl driver.

So on the cmd line:
sudo usb_modeswitch -v 17e9 -p 0101 -u 2 -W

Thanks a bunch! Your suggestion worked! But I had to change "-u 2" to "-u 1". Additionally, I had to use -b and -g to specify exactly which screen I wanted to become available to the udl driver.

The driver itself is horribly slow probably due to some bug, but that's another story. Finally, with this modeswitch-matter resolved I can get some peace of mind (I was right! I was on the right track! :D )

I think Linux should do the modeswitch automatically on this model screen (and probably the others listed in the Displaylink link). Does anyone know if I should file a bug report somewhere? Is this a udev thing, or a usb-modeswitch thing?

I see now that the first listed config is config#2 and the second listed is config#1 :evil: Probably allowed but still horrible..

Ah, now I start to understand why there were so many devices in your system log, the DisplayLink card in the monitor presents new USB devices for each screen? Each set of 3 USB devices belongs to one screen?
If that is the case then we can not add it for support in usb_modeswitch data package since bus and device are not static values.

Yes, each screen has it's own device that needs to be switched for it to be accessible to the udl driver! Enabling the DL-devices on all screens matching vendor:deviceid (instead of just the first one) would be correct thing to do here.. Maybe usb-modeswitch could have an --all flag for that?

Just in case anyone else is looking for this solution, theese devices likely need to be switched in the same way:
  • LG L206WU USB monitor
  • First generation HP USB 2.0 Dock Station (Model number: HSTNN-S01X)
  • InFocus IN1100 Projector

You could try the following:

Make a file named 17e9:0101 in /etc/usb_modeswitch.d with the content:
#DisplayLink V1
Configuration=1

then add

# DisplayLink V1
ATTR{idVendor}=="17e9", ATTR{idProduct}=="0101", RUN+="usb_modeswitch '%b/%k' "
to /lib/udev/rules.d/40-usb_modeswitch.rules

udev will see each new device and will for each of them call usb_modeswitch with its unique BusID (%b).
