-DisplayLink package version 4.4.24 with Slackware64-current (kernel version 4.19.8) shows screen with lines of different colors and second monitor does not work with x-org-server packages on 1.20.3 (xorg-server, x-org-server-xephyr, xorg-server-xnext and xorg-server-xvfb)+Slackware64-current with latest kernel (5.4.2) needs a patch for evdi-kernel to be repackaged.  It can be found here: https://crazy.dev.frugalware.org/evdi-all-in-one-fixes.patch 
 + 
 +The whole thread where I found it can be found here: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/172 
 + 
 +All three packages can be repackaged using the SBo scripts: 
 + 1) evdi-kernel:  https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/evdi-kernel/ 
 + 2) evdi:  https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/evdi/ 
 + 3) displaylink:  https://www.slackbuilds.org/repository/14.2/system/displaylink/ 
 + 
 +I had to rename the .zip for DisplayLink to displaylink-driver-5.2.14.zip for it to be repackaged without any issues 
 + 
 +Download the latest compressed files from https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/releases/ (EVDI) and https://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu (DisplayLink) 
 + 
 +I can still not use the latest xorg-server, x-org-server-xephyr, xorg-server-xnext and xorg-server-xvfb

 +Same issue with the lastest version of the DisplayLink package and Slackware64-current.  The only way to have it working is with xorg-server 1.19.6
