Bug Description

Package the non-free DKMS driver?
(https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/ubuntu)

The free driver we use seems to be "NOT a complete driver":
https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi#readme

And while doing display server development I have had the most success using the non-free driver.

Is the only difference the inclusion of firmware? And if so, should those firmwares go in our firmware packages?
