Comment 15 for bug 1853357

What comes to the EVDI dkms version, the official DisplayLink driver 5.2.14 package contains EVDI 1.6.2. The release notes just write it out as v1.5.0-r1-76 (a1e1135), but that sha1 refers to 1.6.2 and the code between the official package and the 1.6.2 tag for the kernel module is identical. So I think the ones shipped in Ubuntu/Debian are older than the DisplayLink's own.

I see that the Ubuntu evdi 1.6.0+dfsg-1ubuntu2 (the version I see in Ubuntu 19.10) contains some patches on top of 1.6.0, but none of those are GNOME Wayland related fixes found in 1.6.2. OTOH, it seems 1.6.2 already contains all the patches that Ubuntu adds.

This probably makes no difference to your issues, but I'd prefer to stick to the DisplayLink official version to avoid confusion on what is actually being tested.

1.6.3 and 1.6.4 exist too, they have one patch each to libevdi0. I cannot off-hand say if those might be relevant or not.
