Working on 5.9.10
With a lot of help from SicklCodes I've finally got my Displaylink working under 5.9.10...
I had previously followed the patch from post 2, but this did not appear to work... Among trying lots of different fixes, it seems that a patch from SickCodes' repo seemed to bring it all together... git clone https://github.com/sickcodes/evdi.git cd evdi git checkout -f master make sudo make install It would be great if this could be included with the current DisplayLink offering It also seems as though the displaylink-driver.service was not starting automatically., but was found to be present from typing 'systemctl status display' and tapping tab twice (without hitting enter). You can then test whether it will start with 'sudo systemctl start displaylink-driver.service' This worked for me to bring my additional 2 displays (1xHDMI and 1xDVI) from my DisplayLink adapter... I also had the HDMI straight from my Ryzen 7 laptop (with Nvidia MX350) working in parallel with the DVI from the DisplayLink alongside the laptop screen... |

The new mainline 5.10 and 5.10.1 aren't working for me but I did notice some message when I installed these about EVDI so maybe I need to run the process again?
I've dropped back down to 5.9.X today as I have loads of work on. |

Just follow the steps from page one but use the 1.7.2 release rather than cloning/patching |

As per January, 1st 2021, all changes have been pushed to branch v.1.7.x: #225.
The updated (simpler) instructions are the following: 1. Download the DisplayLink driver from [the official download page](https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu). Then run the following commands: Code:
unzip 'DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu 5.3.1.zip' chmod +x displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run ./displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.run --noexec --keep Code:
git clone https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi.git cd evdi git checkout v1.7.x tar cf evdi.tar.gz * cp evdi.tar.gz ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34 Code:
cd ../displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34 sudo ./displaylink-installer.sh install Hope that helps. |

Hope this helps....
I've put together a build script that I use already for my Ubuntu setup... Working for 5.9.16, and just installing 5.10.4 to test that too... But the results from above already speak for themselves... (Thank you bro )
Hopefully this can simplify the process... It downloads the current DisplayLink, then updates the EVDI folder from the above instructions... https://github.com/robotard/setup-ub...kdownloader.sh [AS PER BELOW - I've updated my script to allow for newer DisplayLink updated to not be automatically be patched] ##IMPORTANT## You may also need to run this to start the service after reboot: sudo systemctl start displaylink-driver.service Let me know if it helps Last edited by RobstaRobotard; 01-04-2021 at 02:27 AM. |
