Help: Displaylink with USB 3.0 on slackware 15.0 and custom built laptop


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.

All the other stuff on the hub (ie headset and mouse and keyboard) are functional and detected, it is just my monitor that does not come up.

I am at a loss of what to do. Any help would be appreciated. I would consider to get a different docking hub (I also have a USB C port) if I know for sure it works under slackware 15.0 and is available in UK.

Hi,
I tested 2 more devices to connect my HDMI, which were supposed to be linux friendly:
i-tec, https://i-tec.pro/en/setup/ with the link marked on the hub, and
Cable Matters which worked on Mint, ( http://unixetc.co.uk/2021/04/19/conn...-hdmi-adapter/ and amazon page for product https://www.amazon.co.uk/Cable-Matte...36726605&psc=1).

I did not find anything more recent for slackware 15.0 as the blog pages refer to 14.1 and 14.2 or current version of that dated 2020. When the outcome was identical to what described above with the new controller and evdi kernel module was still unengaged, I went back to testing other drivers but without using the scripts from SlackBuild to install them.

I made some progress with centos-stream-stream9-displaylink-1.12.0-2.x86_64.rpm from this website:
https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/d...k-rpm/releases


I converted it to tgz and installed, then restarted, and now when I boot, evdi gets activated and I have the following:

bash-5.1# lsmod | grep evdi
evdi 73728 4
drm_kms_helper 307200 2 evdi,i915
drm 634880 25 drm_kms_helper,evdi,i915,ttm
syscopyarea 16384 2 drm_kms_helper,evdi
sysfillrect 16384 2 drm_kms_helper,evdi
sysimgblt 16384 2 drm_kms_helper,evdi
i2c_core 102400 15 i2c_designware_platform,videodev,i2c_hid,i2c_designware_core,drm_kms_helper,intel_hid,i2c_algo_bit,e e1004,evdi,i2c_smbus,i2c_i801,i2c_hid_acpi,i915,psmouse,drm

The name refers to the version of evdi, if I do "./DisplayLinkManager --version", I get the same version I should have installed via slackware builds:
Unknown argument: --version
DisplayLinkManager v5.9.184.0


Now this is progress, but both before and after starting DisplayLinkManager, my screens are disconnected.

Before, from xrandr I have the following (notice in my previous post the DVI were not appearing at all):

DVI-I-4-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-3-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-2-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)


Since I am not sure which is which, I run:

xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 2 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 3 0
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 4 0


but the tail of xrandr still gives the same:

DVI-I-4-4 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-3-3 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-2-2 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)
DVI-I-1-1 disconnected (normal left inverted right x axis y axis)

bash-5.1# xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 5
Provider 0: id: 0x49 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 4 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x133 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 2: id: 0x111 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 3: id: 0xef cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 4: id: 0xcd cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting


Any hints on how to progress from here? I would have to have to switch to a different distribution just to get my monitor to work, as everything else in my dual boot setup looks great right now.
Thanks in advance for any help.

Hi,
I still haven't worked out how to get my third display to work with slackware 15.0 despite multiple attempt and multiple reboots after each change, so I made my machine triple boot, I kept slackware and I added ubuntu 22.04.1. As I had originally in slackware partitions as
/
/usr/local
/home
It was easy to format and resize my /usr/local to make a root partition for Ubuntu, after moving temporarily all my stuff in usr/local to elsewhere then back. There the addition of the third screen worked within 5 minutes, and I checked with all hardware I purchased. Other things are taking much longer to set up though under Ubuntu, ie dropbox seems a lot more buggy under Ubuntu and it synchronizes more slowly, and my Cintiq tablet-screen worked out of the box with slackware while I am still trying to get my pen to be recognised and working under Ubuntu. All my stuff in /usr/local worked as well (from command line only though). All in all, I will keep both OS with a shared home folder, even though Dropbox is not stable when shared between the two OS as they use a slightly different version of the programme, which messes up sync'ing. If you have a solution on getting my displaylink to work under slackware, I'd be delighted. I like it too much to give up on it just for a screen....
