# rpm -q kernel kernel-core kernel-devel kernel-headers | sort
kernel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-core-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply, I ended up uninstalling the kernel-headers and kernel devel and then re-installing, it works fine now.

All I have to do is figure out why the VGA port works but the HDMI port doesn't.

Update: I followed Coldfire's suggestion earlier in this thread and downgraded xorg (dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg). Everything is now working again and the menus actually show up in the correct monitors this time.

Been using this RPM for about 3 weeks now with no issues other than the menus(right click, file, edit, etc etc) refusing to open up on the display-link monitors and having to reconfigure the monitor positions on boot.

Fedora had some upgrades earlier today and as of right now I can't seem to be able to get the ports on the dock to work. They're recognized and I can see them inside the "configure displays" section of gnome, but I only see static on either monitor. No change if I move the mouse to the displays. If I restart gnome, I get to see my background, but still no update if I move my mouse to the dock monitors. There's also artifacts on my main monitor wherever my cursor ends up.

Is there a RPM for Fedora 24?

Hey guys,

I downloaded and installed the latest version of this driver on my Fedora 24, but from time to time the screens connected to the docking station start flickering, this did not happen when I had Fedora 23 with the same driver.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

Fedora 24 4.6.3-300.fc24.x86_64 & Displaylink-1.1.65-2.x86_64

I am able to compile, install and get the service running, but when I do plug a monitor, nothing happen.
(was working previously with f23)
Was anybody successful with f24 4.6.3 and displaylink ?

Thx for your help

Laurent

Any information on how you sign the driver? I'd like to keep SecureBoot enabled. Thank in advance.

I'm using fedora 24 workstation, which is currently running a 4.7 kernel. I reinstalled the package:

But unfortunately it doesn' t work. The EVDI module cannot be compiled. It looks like I have an incompatible library that provides DRM functions. Anyone who has an idea how this can be fixed?

The evdi module included in this package does not support 4.7.x or greater series kernels. You will have to build evdi and libevdi from source, or wait for an updated package.

Thanks! After installing libdrm-devel I could compile the latest code which I downloaded from the GIT repository. I copied the module to the /lib/modules/kernel/misc directory and ran depmod. Finally I reinstalled the displaylink rpm.

Will test the result tomorrow at work!

Test, disconnect and reconnect the dock:
