My configuration: custom built laptop, USB+HDMI connection to Wacom Cintiq and an additional HDMI connection to a Dell monitor through a Displaylink USB 3.0 hub connected via a USB 3.1 port. I run the standard slackware 15.0 with kernel 5.15.19 (huge) which is supposed to be well supported in the latest version of displaylink.
Built-in graphics (nothing fancy):
bash-5.1# lsgpu
card0 Intel Tigerlake (Gen12) drm:/dev/dri/card0
renderD128 drm:/dev/dri/renderD128
The make of my hubs are QgeeM (I lost the box and found no model number for it -- sorry, I just know it is a USB 3.0 hub) or Wavlink USB 3.0 dual video docking station. None of them worked :-(
I followed the guides here, from Slackware docs for USB 3.0 devices:
https://docs.slackware.com/howtos:hardware:displaylink
https://docs.slackware.com/talk:howt...%20this%20time.
From SlackBuilds, I first installed dkms and added it on rc.modules.local as specified on the slackbuild page, then restarted and installed evdi-kernel, restarted and installed evdi. I added a modprobe for loading evdi from rc.modules.local so it is done at startup.
Then I downloaded the slackbuild for displaylink, and I downloaded both the recommended version of it (1.4.210) via wget, and the latest which is 5.6.1. I adapted the slackbuild script to generate the package for the newest displaylink version, named respectively:
/tmp/displaylink-1.4.210-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz /tmp/displaylink-5.6.1-59.184-x86_64-1_SBo.tgz
I restarted, installed 1.4, restarted and started ./DisplayLinkManager & from the appropriate folder (I tried both installing in the default /usr/lib64 or /opt). When I did not see my additional HDMI monitor docked through my hub, I removed the 1.4 package, restarted, installed the 5.6.1 as this version states explicitly the support for my current kernel, and restarted before testing it again in a similar way. I checked various responses to my hardware to running DisplayLink and they are the same.
