Custom RPM created for Fedora and others

MartinHerrman · 09-04-2016, 07:25 PM

I'm using fedora 24 workstation, which is currently running a 4.7 kernel. I reinstalled the package:

Code:

# dnf reinstall displaylink-1.0.335-1.x86_64.rpm

Complete!

But unfortunately it doesn' t work. The EVDI module cannot be compiled. It looks like I have an incompatible library that provides DRM functions. Anyone who has an idea how this can be fixed?

The evdi module included in this package does not support 4.7.x or greater series kernels. You will have to build evdi and libevdi from source, or wait for an updated package.

MartinHerrman · 09-11-2016, 12:48 PM

Thanks! After installing libdrm-devel I could compile the latest code which I downloaded from the GIT repository. I copied the module to the /lib/modules/kernel/misc directory and ran depmod. Finally I reinstalled the displaylink rpm.

Will test the result tomorrow at work!
