Startech Docking Station: Video Ports Not Working

I recently bought an MSI laptop and am running Ubuntu 14.04 on it. In order to use several screens, I have also bought a Startech docking station.

Specifications can be found here, and review here

The whole thing is pretty good, and I can use the USB ports and the Ethernet port of the docking station without problem.

However I have a problem with the VGA, HDMI and DVI ports. None of them work. The screen is basically not detected.

The chipset used in the docking station is DisplayLink DL-3000. I think this issue is related.

I was wondering if someone had any information that could help me get the screen working using the docking station.

Any help welcome. Thanks!
