Fedora 25 and Display Link

[Marlin Whitaker]

Please don't assume it will just work by picking a legacy desktop environment. That was not the case for me, even though the driver appears to be loaded without error. If a DisplayLink device is crucially important to you, you may want to hold off for a few days before upgrading.

EDIT: It was working for me after changing USB ports, but now it is not. It is apparently intermittent but mostly NOT working. This could be due to my external monitor, which is an ASUS MB169B+. However, I will say it has worked reliably in the past. The only thing different is the upgrade to F25.

EDIT 2: Today, on a different laptop running Fedora 25, it is working well. This is running GNOME on X11 at login. Curiously, this machine does not allow me to log in at all after selecting the default "GNOME" session (Wayland). But that is another issue. It is more important to me to have functional DisplayLink than to have Wayland.
