[WORKING] Linux Mint 17.3 & Kernel 4.5
Thought I'd share my success for anyone who is still trying to get their DisplayLink adapters/dock to work in Linux Mint 17.3 with the latest 4.5 Kernel.
Thanks to sinfomicien on creating patches to make the latest drivers work on 4.5 kernel. https://github.com/sinfomicien/displ...-evdi-opensuse Follow sinfomicien's guide and before you install, edit the 'displaylink-installer.sh' & change 'SYSTEMINITDAEMON=upstart' then run the install script and voila! The dock will disconnect and reconnect. Enjoy! Also, this might work with other distros, as initially he made it for OpenSuse, just make sure to change the 'SYSTEMINITDAEMON' to upstart,systemd etc Might work on other kernels: (did not test personally) https://forums.linuxmint.com/viewtopic.php?t=218898 Last edited by vampirex; 04-09-2016 at 02:10 AM. |

I'm not really linux savvy, correct me if i'm wrong, but looks like you might need to update GCC for that kernel.

Currently using gcc 5.3 (the latest, released in 12/2015). On my hardware, I've hit an interesting conundrum... In order to get my touchpad, touchscreen, wifi, and sound to work I had to upgrade to kernel 4.6... In order to COMPILE kernel 4.6, I needed gcc 5+. The issue is that the kernel module here is linking to old kernel headers that have changed DRM in the latest release (the repo given in this thread patches it). However, they have not upgraded to GCC 5 which changes some flags that have been removed. What actually needs to happen is DisplayLink needs to get off their lazy asses and fix shit once in a while. They're over a year behind on kernel/gcc releases.

Hi,
Below my modified script and evdi patch: https://github.com/emavap/displaylink-debian It is based on https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian and https://github.com/sinfomicien/displ...-evdi-opensuse The script will automatically patch evdi and proceed with install/uninstall |
