Hi Sly,

We do actually test as many dkms builds as we can. Well, mainly all the
kernel modules present in the Ubuntu archive, like evdi-dkms.

The trouble starts when you get dkms sources from other places that we
don't know about, like the DisplayLink installer that I linked above.
You, me, and other users just install it, and forget all about it, until
something breaks.

The real solution is to get rid of as many out of tree kernel modules as
we can. In the case of evdi, a few people have tried, and failed, to get
it into the mainline kernel. Upstream aren't interested in tidying it up
for inclusion, so it just rots out of tree.

Anyway, I am glad that it works for you now.

Thanks,
Matthew
