Question How install DisplayLink Driver on Raspbian Stretch ?

Hello everyone,

I have a raspberry pi 3 model B v1.2 with Raspbian Stretch 9.1 like os. I have the usb graphics adapter Kensington K33907. How can I procced to install the DisplayLink driver for Ubuntu on Raspbian ? I have try the script from GitHub:

https://github.com/AdnanHodzic/displaylink-debian

But he doesn't work. He ask me that he have to install Linux-header-4.9.59-v7+ because he doesn't see it. I say ok. But he doesn't work. Installation failed. Aborting
When I make the command: uname -a
Linux raspberrypi-arnold 4.9.59-v7+ #1047 SMP Sun Oct 29 12:19:23 GMT 2017 armv7l GNU/Linux

So have you a solution to install a driver for Ubuntu to a Raspbian ?

Thanks a lot.

Hi,
did you install the linux headers? Its a separate package:

Code:
sudo apt-get install linux-headers-$(uname -r)
See: https://askubuntu.com/questions/7570...l-header-files

Short answer is, you can't, firstly because there is no ARM binary of DisplayLinkManager available. Only x86/amd64 architectures are supported.

However, longer answer is here: https://displaylink.org/forum/showpo...93&postcount=5

This didn't change since the time of writing, in fact last time I tried vc4 it was behaving even worse than in past.

Again, if someone gets successful with udl, we'd be happy to release DLM to work with evdi.

Cheers,
Michal

At this page, I think we have a solution:

https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...p?f=66&t=12761
https://www.raspberrypi.org/forums/v...12761&start=25

Me I have two monitors (Philips Brilliance 220SW), an usb DisplayLink Certified Kensingston K33907 and a raspberry pi 3 model B V1.2 with the OS Ubuntu Mate installed. I install the last kernel 4.9.60-v7+ with the displaylink drivers for ubuntu.

But only the monitor who is connected at the adapter work. The monitor connected by HDMI display anything, just the command prompt after the raspberry have
finish to boot.

For my xorg.conf file, I used this process: https://www.novaspirit.com/2015/12/3...-raspberry-pi/

Do you know how can I do for have my two monitors work ?

And extended the display from the hdmi ouput to the usb adapter displaylink ?

Which config for my xorg.conf ?


Thank a lot...

Ah. So your device is a USB to DVI-VGA adapter which uses an older generation DL-1x5 chip. You don't need this driver for it at all then, it's should be supported by "udl" module which is already available in the kernel.

All the components you need are in your hands and they are all open source, should you need to tweak stuff. Let me know if you're successful - if you find a way of running the Pi with 2 screens, we can replicate this for newer devices that need evdi and DisplayLink Manager.

Cheers,
Michal

When I install the linux-header my Raspberry Pi 3 identify the DisplayLink USB Adapter as a peripheral.
So if he reconize the adapter, he can reconize my monitor who is connected in to it.

Hi...i am a new user here. In my case I always get the X Server start on fb0 regardless of the Option "OneDesk" or "TwoDesk" I use. If I start X with FRAMEBUFFER=/dev/fbx it goes to the correct one.
I guess I'm missing important here, maybe you can point me in the right direction. I also downloaded the image mentioned in this thread, but did not try it yet, fearing that I'll loose the tbtft driver, as they also mention to be working only with a kernel different from the original Rasperian one.
