kernel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-core-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-devel-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64
kernel-headers-4.2.8-300.fc23.x86_64

Hi Eric,

Thanks for the reply, I ended up uninstalling the kernel-headers and kernel devel and then re-installing, it works fine now.

All I have to do is figure out why the VGA port works but the HDMI port doesn't.

Update: I followed Coldfire's suggestion earlier in this thread and downgraded xorg (dnf --showduplicates --allowerasing --releasever=22 downgrade xorg-x11-server-Xorg). Everything is now working again and the menus actually show up in the correct monitors this time.

Been using this RPM for about 3 weeks now with no issues other than the menus(right click, file, edit, etc etc) refusing to open up on the display-link monitors and having to reconfigure the monitor positions on boot.

Fedora had some upgrades earlier today and as of right now I can't seem to be able to get the ports on the dock to work. They're recognized and I can see them inside the "configure displays" section of gnome, but I only see static on either monitor. No change if I move the mouse to the displays. If I restart gnome, I get to see my background, but still no update if I move my mouse to the dock monitors. There's also artifacts on my main monitor wherever my cursor ends up.
