Default Thanks for an honest solution!

I am the person who is interested. I've been disappointed with Debian repos before, but how can they allow this? Let's frustrate everyone with a pointless dead end because you have no need to know.
Thanks for the clarity, the original kind. Sad to see Ubuntu down the slide, but they have good archives.

I had to register after seeing this.

For anyone that's interested:
  • I uninstalled the three evdi related packages via apt (evdi-dkms, libevdi0, and libevdi0-dev). (They're a red herring.)
  • I downloaded the Legacy Driver 'DisplayLink USB Graphics Software for Ubuntu6.0-EXE.zip' from https://www.synaptics.com/products/d...wnloads/ubuntu
  • I then unzipped it, made the .run file executable, and ran it with sudo.

That's all it took and my USB3 docking station works on my (stable) Debian 12 box.
