Thumbs up Success!

Thanks for creating the RPM for Fedora.

This works like a charm. Just a few notes on my side on how I did it:
  • Remove all old DisplayLink installs -> dnf remove displaylink*
  • Reboot the system with having the DisplayLink disconnected from USB.
  • Install the above available RPM from the terminal
    [**] su (to get full root access)
    [**] rpm -i displaylinkXXXX.rpm
  • Reboot the system with having the DisplayLink disconnected from USB.
  • Login to your user but make sure you select "Gnome Desktop" from the gear icon before login.
  • Connect the DisplayLink USB and after a few seconds it should show a picture on the external monitors (2x Dell 27" on XPS15 in my case)

Works like a charm so far....

I just returned from my holiday trip and was very surprised to see that an RPM for Fedora/4.7 kernel is available. Many thanks!

(I am hitting a bug with performance, but there is a different thread on that subject)
