The exact location below /lib/modules/$(uname -r)/ doesn't matter - e.g. 
just create a directory "displaylink" directly below and put it there. You 
may need to run "depmod -ae" afterwards.

> (II) LoadModule: "displaylink"
> (WW) Warning, couldn't open module displaylink
> (II) UnloadModule: "displaylink"
> (EE) Failed to load module "displaylink" (module does not exist, 0)
> I guess the udlfb.ko file needs to be put somewhere. Any suggestions?
No, these errors are due to "displaylink.so" not being in the right place,
usually /usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/. Maybe "make install" put it into 
/usr/local/lib/.... ?
