It seems that evdi would only be useful for DisplayLink, but DisplayLink itself is proprietary. As such, there would be little point in merging evdi into mainline, even if they made a move to do so. > Is this https://github.com/displaylink-rpm/displaylink-rpm and this > https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi the only possible solution? Yes and no. That'd work, but unless you intend to keep up with it yourself, I'd suggest getting it from the following link instead. I actually used this myself a few weeks ago, while testing something. Note: The displaylink software itself is proprietary, while the kernel module (evdi) is free software. If you don't mind running proprietary software (This would be a show stopper for me, if it were on my own machine), you may use the following package or your link from above. http://www.nosuchhost.net/~cheese/fedora/packages/29/x86_64/displaylink.html Note: This is a third party package, and is not affiliated with or endorsed by Fedora.. -- John M.
