I had originally gotten DisplayLink to run successfully on OpenSUSE 42.3 with a DisplayLink adapter and two external monitors, but after I upgraded to Leap 15.0 today, I can’t seem to get it to find my other two monitors. I did see that there was a DisplayLink option in the build service, which I installed, but when I went to see if the service was running, it fails like this:
sudo service displaylink status
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; static; vendor preset: disabled)
Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Mon 2018-07-23 17:22:16 EDT; 1s ago
Process: 27855 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
Jul 23 17:22:16 Quicksilver systemd[1]: displaylink.service: Unit entered failed state.
Jul 23 17:22:16 Quicksilver systemd[1]: displaylink.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.
I did try to find the EVDI software, which appears to be there but did not offer an option for Leap 15.0. I tried to get the original source for EVDI, but this reached the end of my limit of my knowledge as it doesn’t appear to work for OpenSUSE 15.0. What should I be doing to get my extra monitors back?
