 +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
 +
 +Regards,
