No I am on 5.9.12 and all is working well. Try doing all the steps again with displaylink removed before hand maybe

The new mainline 5.10 and 5.10.1 aren't working for me but I did notice some message when I installed these about EVDI so maybe I need to run the process again?

I've dropped back down to 5.9.X today as I have loads of work on.

You need to use evdi 1.7.2 See the announcement.

Just follow the steps from page one but use the 1.7.2 release rather than cloning/patching

Thanks for the heads up on that
