DisplayLink Manager 5.3.1 and EVDI

[displaylink-dkurek]

DisplayLink Manager 5.3.1 is incompatible with EVDI newer then v1.7.
Please make sure you are using EVDI version v1.7.2 (newest 1.7.x at the time of writing).
You will need to use this version especially for kernel 5.9, 5.10, ...

@abucodonosor what do you think, is it more or less clearly explained what's going on?

@displaylink-dkurek yes :)

If DisplayLink Manager 5.3.1 is incompatible with EVDI newer than v1.7, what version of DisplayLink Manager do we use if we're using v1.7.2 of EVDI? I have been trying to get DLM 5.3.1.34 running on Kubuntu 20.0.4 with various kernels:

• v5.8.14-050814
• v5.9.1-050901
• v5.10.2
• v5.10.4-051004

I'd been following threads on the DIsplayLink forums that seemingly are supposed to solve these issues:

• https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67148
• https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67372
• https://displaylink.org/forum/showthread.php?t=67007

I've yet to have a solution working where the session doesn't freeze and EVDI complains about painting.

Yes, 1.7.2.
