I have a Mimo USB monitor that uses DisplayLink which I've used on my
laptop. I haven't used it in a while (I think the last effort was under
F20) because the way it worked, the Mimo ended up as the primary display
and it's a bit small for that.

Anyway, here's the xorg.conf stuff I had to use:

Section "Device"
         ### Available Driver options are:-
         ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
         ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz",
         ### <percent>: "<f>%"
         ### [arg]: arg optional
         #Option     "ShadowFB"                  # [<bool>]
         #Option     "DefaultRefresh"            # [<bool>]
         #Option     "ModeSetClearScreen"        # [<bool>]
         Identifier  "Mimo"
         Driver      "displaylink"
         BusID       "USB:17e9:401a"
         Option      "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
         Identifier "Mimo USB"
         Device     "Mimo"
         Monitor    "Mimo"
         DefaultDepth 16
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     1
         EndSubSection
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     4
         EndSubSection
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     8
         EndSubSection
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     15
         EndSubSection
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     16
         EndSubSection
         SubSection "Display"
                 Viewport   0 0
                 Depth     24
         EndSubSection
EndSection

IIRC, I did have to build the driver from a source tarball I got
somewhere (can't find it now). Your mileage may vary.
