The link you provided is not working. Can you please provide an alternate link or send via email if possible? I have contacted the support, but have not received a response yet. I am running Ubuntu 22.04 ..

Tech support responded within 24 hours and the driver they provided worked perfectly. It was very easy to install. I am running Ubuntu 22.04 with Wayland.

How is the performance. I seem to be having some input stuttering. Videos off youtube play perfectly at 60fps but my mouse and moving windows is laggy. Wondering if its the same for others or just have a bad mix.

it was perfectly fine for me. In fact, I ran a zoom meeting without any issues. I am running the HWE kernel if that makes any difference and connected over one USB-C connection for both display and power.

When using Ubuntu with a wireless keyboard and mouse even without this portable display, I had experienced stuttering and moving the devices to a different USB port helped.

The support send me the driver, it works on my ubuntu and my debian.

How do I uninstall SiliconMotion driver? It made everything laggy and changed my Ubuntu GUI.

I have bough the OREI HDMI extender splitter 1-to-2 device and the manual asked me to install siliconmotion's SM76x driver,
the lack of a linux driver there and a google search has brought me here.
I am using a Ubunutu 20.04 lts OS, so I wanted to understand if the driver in question in this thread will help me?
If so, can someone please share the linux driver, or is contacting siliconmotion's support the only option?

Does anybody have the linux driver that Silicon Motion sent to share with me? I sent a support contact but haven't gotten any reply so far.
Thanks!

Here's how i got it to work on the 6.5.x kernel on Ubuntu 23.10.

perform the below instructions as root
1. ./SMIUSBDisplay-driver.2.12.0.0.run --noexec --keep
2. cd /root/SMIUSBDisplay
3. rm evdi.tar.gz
4. Download the updated evdi drivers from https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/...v1.14.2.tar.gz (this was the latest release as of today)
5. untar the driver to /usr/src . The extracted path should look like /usr/src/evdi-1.14.2
6. Modify the install.sh file to replace the variable EVDI in the install_evdi() function to point to this new path
EVDI='/usr/src/evdi-1.14.2'
7. if you have any prior version of the evdi driver installed , please uninstall it first.
8. Run ./install.sh
9. Hopefully every things goes right and the installation is completed. Reboot the machine for the driver and associated daemons to start the display.

I wrote to service@siliconmotion.com and they give me new driver.

could you please also provide me the updated driver you got ?
