Default evdi_mode_valid rejects all modes on kernel 4.9.8

Hi,

when connecting my Lenovo U31-70 to my usb docking station the HDMI connected external display is not recognized and i can see these messages in dmesg:

[ 2986.077244] evdi: [W] evdi_mode_valid:61 Mode 848x480@60 rejected

so i think the kernel driver is rejecting all available display modes, so the external display is disabled. Anyone else observing this? All other external devices (mouse, keyboard) are working well.

kind regards,

Christoph

Default

I have same problem
Was also posted up on evdi github
https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/74
FWIW - the workaround does NOT work for me

Is basically a problem with evdi being updated almost a month ago now, but no new Displaylink Manager being released
@mlukaszek mentioned the update is meant to come this month

as it stands I am sticking with kernel 4.8 until the new displaylink manager is released which hopefully fixes this issue.
