AOC E1659Fwu not working with Ubuntu 16.04.01 LTS

This looks like something we've already fixed.

Thanks for that ; should I be then using the older version of the released driver with a newer evdi module via github? Is there a formal process for installing both so they play nicely together?

Thanks.

We're releasing a version of the driver which will have this fix in, so please be patient. Expected this week!

Michal

OK, thanks!

Any chance you're going to set up a PPA too? ;-)

[mlukaszek]

No, we're do not package releases to .deb/.rpm/other - I think distro maintainers know specifics of their distros better than us...

Cheers,

Hi Michal,

So, I just installed the new driver (displaylink-driver-1.3.52) to test but this doesn't work at all with this monitor :-/

Looking at syslog I can see it getting detected as a USB device but doesn't appear to do anything after that.

Please post logs. Also, make sure that you allow the screen to be connected for about a minute before you give up and unplug - there is a different firmware used with the device when you switch driver versions.

Cheers,
Michal
