Latest EVDI changes break install

[ItsDom]

I wasn't able to install on Fedora 32, even with make rawhide I get the following error:

cannot stat 'evdi-1.6.4/library/libevdi.so.1.6.4': No such file or directory

Manually modifying the makefile to checkout commit 01e246f from EVDI repo as per
DisplayLink/evdi#199 (comment) seems to be a work around.

I think this is also why the tests have failed on the last few commits in this repo too.

@ItsDom Yes, we know. The evdi devel branch has been a moving target. Just when we think we have something for the community, it changes. We are waiting for a new release of EVDI to make an official release here.

The devel changes up to that commit are very nice though. I finally have the monitors working as expected with no lag on Fedora 32. I am able to hot plug with no issues.

So upgrading to Fedora 32 break evdi? Good to know

@bowerth You need to do make rawhide for now. The evdi library 1.7.0 has not been released yet.

I managed building the SRPM after setting QA_RPATHS=0x0004. I could build the RPM after setting _version, _release and _daemon_version in ~/.rpmmacros. I could install the resulting RPM and the driver starts (however it is inactive on reboot). The display appears in the system settings GUI but remains black. Upon disconnect, the main display turns black and a hard reset is required.

@bowerth I am not sure how you are building your RPM. Those variables are all set through the Makefile and passed in to the displaylink.spec. Something doesn't seem right.

Hello, I can confirm everything works in order (under X11). There was an issue with a configuration script in /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/ preventing X11 from starting properly.
@elguero have you tested the driver in wayland?
