No display detected Displaylink 1.2.58 on Linux Mint 18

Hi,

After using our Ubuntu installer, evdi is modprobe'd by the upstart/systemd job as a precondition for DisplayLinkManager start. If it fails, DLM start would not even be attempted.

To confirm evdi loads fine, after modprobe evdi check the module is listed in the output of lsmod. DisplayLinkManager must be running as root. Seeing drop_master error is not fatal.

If the device is connected, and both DLM is running and evdi is loaded, and things still don't work, please attach logs again - as this was not the case in the logs from the original message.

Cheers,
Michal
