Linux 5.9 and Display Link

Hopefully this can simplify the process...

It downloads the current DisplayLink, then updates the EVDI folder from the above instructions...

https://github.com/robotard/setup-ub...kdownloader.sh

You may also need to run this to start the service after reboot:

sudo systemctl start displaylink-driver.service

Let me know if it helps

I could probably expand upon it to check whether the current Displaylink is above 5.3.1.34 and install that without the need for any patches, but that's on DisplayLink to fix their sh$t first...

Hopefully updated the script for newer DisplayLink releases...

Please let me know if it works for you and always...

Is there a chance your ubuntu-setup repo is private? If you want to keep it that way, a gist could get the job done!

Ooh, not intentionally, but just a note that the EVDI one is broken again on 5.10.5...

Works fine on 5.10.4 though...

[EDIT]
The original EVDI one, not from my missing script (adding in a second)

I've posted support logs a few posts above... Display worked in 5.10.4, then 5.10.5 suddenly not...
