Thanks for your reply, this is the information I was missing!
DisplayLink is crucial search keyword, so after DuckDuckGo-ingit
(yeah, I know) found a ArchWiki page that says there is some
experimental open source support:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/DisplayLink
So is there a way to get DisplayLink working in Fedora so Lenovo docks work?
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>]

Driver "displaylink"
BusID "USB:17e9:401a"
Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"

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

The lenovo USB 3 dock uses DisplayLink chips for the display part.
DisplayLink have not provided a linux driver for the new chip set yet even
if they promised so when they launched it. :-(
The Lenovo OneLink dock has USB 3, power and DisplayPort in one cable. If
you have a lenovo pc with the OneLink connector then this dock works, as the
display connector on the dock is really hooked to the internal DP interface
in the laptop. I use this dock with my X1 2nd gen and a high-res 27" screen.

I love Fedora, but there is still no fix for Lenovo docks :( No
external monitor works over dock, but under windows they work
flawlessly :(
But reported weeks and weeks ago... still no reply :(
