Thank you for the help. I do, however, want to identify the changes in your script in the Debian driver install that makes this process work in the Debian 8.1 driver install thread. I worked through a lot of steps, but I always hit a challenge at the next level. First it was the kernel header problem, Debian uses Makefile instead of Zbuild, that was easy enough, a simple symbolic link fixed that. Then there was the problem with the systeminitdaemon, which you found that there needed to be a systemd entry in the script because DisplayLink only supports Ubuntu setup at the moment. Then there was a problem with the blacklist, my system looked like it was doing everything correctly, but your configuration does it differently. I guess the overall process I did myself just wouldn't work for me. I just want to be sure, for the record, that everyone who reads this or my thread, they understand the overall process and what needs to be accomplished to get the driver working just in case they can't download a simple script.
