Installed Ubuntu 16.04.1 onto a spare HDD, then ensured packages were up to date. Everything worked fine with the latest DisplayLink driver release - all monitors turned on and I was able to achieve a full 3-headed spread.

I've updated my kernel to the provided 4.7.x series kernel and rebuilt evdi and libevdi from the git repo. I'm still unable to see any additional displays in my randr tools.

RobertCochran · 09-13-2016, 09:14 PM

Rebuilt again from the latest evdi sources. Same kernel. Same lack of displays.

Are we making any progress on this?

We'll soon be releasing a new version of the driver for Ubuntu - maybe this will fix the problems you're seeing.

As a side note - please keep in mind that so far Ubuntu is the only distro we support and test, so with Fedora you're practically on your own - and while the community is great in helping maintain ports to other distros, variety of combinations of different components in the graphics stack may lead to some distinct problems, meaning it's possible things will not work equally well everywhere.

Cheers,

The new driver release does not fix my issue.

I'm not going to change OSes for a stupid monitor. I shouldn't *have* to.

As far as I can see, you appear to be the only DisplayLink guy helping out in the
Linux subforum. It sucks, so I understand to a point. Still though:

1) I bought these monitors close to 2 months ago and haven't been able to use them.
2) I have done everything I can reasonably do to fix the problem from my end WRT code.
I looked through and worked out as much as I can of EVDI.
3) But the problem is in the proprietary part. So I can't fix it.
4) This could have been done and over with nearly 2 months ago if I could have fixed it
myself.
5) Now I have to wait on DisplayLink to fix the issue.
6) Support has been abysmal because they only have one freaking developer on the
Linux subforum.

None of that is necessarily /your/ fault; rather, DisplayLink as a whole. I'm not
attempting to single out and flame you in particular. I'm just done dealing with this issue.

This whole experience has been so bad that even *if* I'm able to get my monitors to
work, I'm never buying anything with DisplayLink inside again.

Some folks are successful on Fedora. Did you try the RPM they prepared based on the latest release?

I still can't see what specific difference you have in your setup making it not compatible. You said that it works with Ubuntu - and we don't officially support any other distro, despite trying to assist in porting where we can. Sorry.

Cheers,

I tried the new 10/11 release a few days ago. Exact same thing still.
