Debian 13 - 6.12.5-amd64

[fmrtn]

It works fine in Debian 13 with 6.11.10-amd64 kernel, with Xorg or Wayland. But it doesn't work with 6.12.5 with either Xorg or Wayland.

I've tried the various options recommended for /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-displaylink.conf

I had the same issue, it seems to be a problem with the evdi module. according to this: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/releases the newer versions should support both 6.12 and 6.13 kernel.

System: Debian Trixie - Framework 16 - Wayland

I got it to work with evdi 1.14.8, and 6.12.8-amd64 here is what I did:

• booted 6.11.10 kernel
• installed displaylink-debian
• reboot to 6.11.10 to check if everything works: it does
• boot 6.12.8 kernel -> stops working as expected
• installed evdi-dkms 1.14.8 via apt -> reboot
• installed displaylink-debian with install instead of re-install -> reboot
  -> WORKS!

Not sure if every reboot is required but this is all I did

@Mathew3000 This fix worked!! I am on 6.12.6 with Debian Trixie. However, I didn't install an old kernel and the final restart wasn't required in my case. What i performed is:

1. Boot into 6.12.6
2. Install displaylink-debian, ensure no errors, reboot.
3. apt install evdi-dkms, which currently ships 1.14.8, as per Trixie/Testing, reboot.

Works for both X11 and Wayland, using KDE Plasma 6.2.5
