Fedora 25 and Display Link

aiguofer · 11-30-2016, 01:38 AM

I upgraded last night and sadly, it's not working for me

It detects the monitors, and seems to load them just fine. I can even see the mouse when I move it on to those screens, and if I connect it while my lockscreen is up, I can even see the background for the lockscreen stuck on the monitors once I log in.

However, I can't see any windows, or when I go into overview I don't see any motion. It almost seems like an issue with the config on Gnome. Needless to say, this is with switching the session to Xorg.

Btw, I'm seeing the following in my journalctl:

evdi: [D] evdi_crtc_cursor_set:238 evdi_crtc_cursor_set unlock

I do see that same message in my log, but my display is working.

I did have that same behavior earlier, but it went away after a couple of restarts and restarting the displaylink service. I hope you will be as lucky.

I wish I had something more useful to say, but I really didn't do anything in particular to fix it. It just started working.

What driver are you using, and where did you get it?

I'm using the latest version (1.2.64) from https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm

I've tried restarting, reinstalling the driver, and restarting the service in various combinations to no avail... still same exact problem. Even updated kernel today and that didn't help either.

I also tried disabling all Gnome shell extensions in case that had something to do with it, but nothing

The cursor lock/unlock messages are unnecessarily logged on debug level, and will be moved to verbose. Meanwhile, you can reduce the default log level for evdi...

Ahh nice. Out of curiosity I enabled level 6 logging and did not see anything strange (not that I know what most of those things mean though).

What's really strange is that the mouse moves perfectly in my screens, and now I've also see what's on my laptop screen stuck on the external monitors occasionally.
