1.4 not working (Ubuntu/Dell D6000)

[k001]

Hi Michał,

Thanks for looking into it.

Are two screens operational with the older 1.3 driver but identical version of all other packages?

I will try it later today and report back. One problem is I'm using 4.10+ kernels so I'll need to patch the older evdi to be compilable with newer kernels (not a big deal).

Does the second screen start to work if you restart X when one screen is up and running?

I never made it working with a new driver.

What's the contents of /sys/devices/evdi/count?

kir@kd:~$ cat /sys/devices/evdi/count 
2

What's the output of ls -la /dev/dri?

kir@kd:~$ ls -la /dev/dri
total 0
drwxr-xr-x   3 root root       140 Oct 17 23:43 .
drwxr-xr-x  20 root root      4280 Oct 18 10:29 ..

With one screen running, what happens if you run (as root):

echo 1 > /sys/devices/evdi/add

possibly after replugging the USB cable after running it, too?

No changes, except that card3 appears in /dev/dri, and some messages in dmesg:
