kali 6.10.11 -- Fixed

[Xero12369]

I was having the same issues other people were having. Here is the process I used and my display link is working again on kali 6.10.11

sudo git clone https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi.git
cd evdi
cd module
sudo ./dkms_install.sh
sudo mkdir -p /opt/displaylink

Head over to the display link website and download the Ubuntu driver

https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics/downloads/ubuntu
sudo dpkg -i synaptics-repository-keyring.deb
sudo apt-get install -f

Then I rerran the install script from displaylink-debian
sudo ./displaylink-debian.sh

successful install and upon reboot, everything was working.

Worked for me too 👍

Displayling-debian --debug was like this before :

Heyo, unfortunately I still have some weird issues (using a HP Universal Dock G2).

First I tried to uninstall everything related to displaylink and evdi (incl. reboot) before attempting your solution.

However, when performing the installation of DisplayLink-Ubuntu I get an issue in the post install step:

Installing driver version: 6.1

Distribution discovered: Kali GNU/Linux Rolling
WARNING: This is not an officially supported distribution.
Please use DisplayLink Forum for getting help if you find issues.
WARNING: Version 1.14.7 of EVDI kernel module is already running.
Please uninstall all other versions of DisplayLink Linux Software before attempting to install.
Installation terminated.

-------------------------------------------------------------------

Performing post install steps

sed: can't read /lib/systemd/system/displaylink-driver.service: No such file or directory

When looking at the providers, everything seems to be as expected but /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf was not created...
