DisplayLink installation on kernel 5.11 (latest in Ubuntu Hirsuite, due out in April), fails as evdi-dkms fails to build with this kernel. See this (https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evdi/+bug/1917787) Launchpad entry for details...

Fedora 32 Workstation just broke with kernel 5.11.7-100.fc32.x86_64. Rebuilding the RPM fails.

I suspect this will affect any distro running 5.11...

Good news that progress is happening. Think I'll wait for the final DisplayLink release before re-installing - I can just about manage with only 2 monitors until then! :-)

Fixed in DisplayLink 5.4... :)

Installed and working on Ubuntu 21.04 (beta) with kernel 5.11
