Hello Roy, this is an evdi issue in the original displaylink, really not a problem from displaylink-debian (Thx Adnan by the way) that performs what's necessary to install on Debian.

This is the quite dirty hack I did to correct that:

Hope this helps, Frédéric

Hello Roy, this is an evdi issue in the original displaylink, really not a problem from displaylink-debian (Thx Adnan by the way) that performs what's necessary to install on Debian.

This is the quite dirty hack I did to correct that:

  • starting from the the failed install (which did not clean up), moved to 5.4.1/displaylink-driver-5.4.1
  • then mkdir tmp && cd tmp && tar zxvf ../evdi.tar.gz
  • now the first tricky part apply the patch given here nilathedragon/evdi@273fbb0#diff-c00b60aa62f1d5ca62e486eff56f6f9a22e5659f0fcd1731e8cf83c95c409bc7L23 To be fully honest I hand edited these 3 files as it takes no time
  • then tar zxvf ../../../evdi.tar.gz, which puts this modified evdi tarball on the root of the displaylink-debian tree
  • then the second tricky part (due to the fact that the install is fully automated, applies patches and stuff) edit displaylink-debian.sh, and add after line 438 (mv displaylink-driver-${version}-[0-9]*/ $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}) the following command cp ./evdi.tar.gz $driver_dir/displaylink-driver-${version}, and then run install (or uninstall before install if needed). This will in effect replace the evdi.tar.gz that is bundled with the original displaylink and let displaylink-debian perform what it usually does.

Hope this helps, Frédéric

I will try later what you tell me, thank you very much for your help Frederic. I will let you know how it went when I make the change.

@fpetrot Thank you very much for your help, I used that hack you gave me perfectly. In fact it works better than before, because when I put only external monitors everything was very slow and stuck, I could only have the screen extended.
