Modifying for Linux 4.5 compatibility #10
Conversation
Linux kernel 4.5 removes the format parameter from drm_dev_set_unique. The change adds an elif for any kernel > 4.5.0.
Added a kernel version check to handle the new name parameter for drm_encoder_init in kernel 4.5.
Thanks for doing this work. Have you had success using this? I'm not having much luck, output below if that helps someone. [ 27.255467] [D] add_store |
I didn't get it to show the display on the secondary monitor. Sadly I haven't had much time to devote to fixing the drivers because I have the device at work. Your issue seems similar to this one: #5 If someone has any ideas on that issue it would be great to get it fixed. Especially since the main reason to get this device is to connect more monitors. |
Modifying for Linux 4.5 compatibility
This is an initial fix for the Linux 4.5 incompatibility. I am still in the process of testing if it fixed the problem with DisplayLink not showing the display, but this will fix the installation errors at least.
Feel free to offer suggestions or comments, this is my first kernel driver PR.
