[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. |
