Hi, First off thank you for this repo!

I've followed through with the installer and I'm trying to get DisplayLink to work like in the image shown here: working demo

From what i understand i need both Mesa and asahi-edge kernel. I dug around some other issued and from what I can grep out of apt i already have mesa.

How can i switch to the asahi-edge kernel? Or can you point me in the right direction?:)

tobhe commented 1 year ago

Hi @EdvardSire, the asahi-edge kernel does not exist anymore since GPU acceleration is enabled by default nowadays. It should work out of the box.

Please let us know if DisplayLink works for you.

(DisplayPort support is on upstream's roadmap.)

Following this guide did not work for me. This guide has always worked for me on non macs. Do you guys have any idea how I can debug this?

eslerm commented 1 year ago

I'm not too familiar.

The keyring deb file adds broken urls to /etc/apt/sources.list.d/synaptics.list:

deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/synaptics-repository-keyring.gpg] https://www.synaptics.com/sites/default/files/Ubuntu/ stable main
deb [signed-by=/usr/share/keyrings/synaptics-repository-keyring.gpg] https://www.synaptics.com/sites/default/files/Ubuntu/ stable non-free

The Latest Official Driver link has a zip with a README and bash script.

Thank you for the response:)

I removed the keyring and uninstalled displaylink-driver. After running the runfile in Latest Official Driver and rebooting it's still not working.

This fedora discussion made be realize that there is a difference between the docs. 40AN vs 40AC (usb vs thunderbolt).

I indeed have a 40AC (thunderbolt) and from what i see over at the hardware docs it's still WIP.

And one last thing, can someone help me understand what is meant by this comment with regards to mesa?

EdvardSire commented 1 year ago

Can confirm that it works with a DisplayLink usb hub:)
