The installation was smooth. My additional steps were:
- add boot parameter
pci=noaer
to get rid of AER (Advanced Error Reporting) errors in kernel ring buffer (dmesg); - add boot parameter
intel_iommu=igfx_off
as workaround for problems with Qualcomm ath10k_pci WLAN chipset (and get rid of DMA errors in kernel ring buffer); - add this line to
/etc/apt/sources.list.d/debian-stable-updates.list
, else some dev packages likelibgtk-3-dev
are not available in package manager;deb-src http://deb.debian.org/debian/ bullseye-updates non-free contrib main
- set-up DisplayLink software (to use my D3100 docking station) as described at DisplayLink Knowledge Base:
- configure MX boot using systemd, may be persistent via MX Tools (DisplayLink requires systemd on D-Bus);
- download DisplayLink driver software from download page;
- download latest evdi driver tarball from GitHub, especially when using a 6.x Linux kernel;
- extract DisplayLink according to article Porting the DisplayLink Ubuntu driver to other Linux distributions;
./displaylink-driver-x.x.xx.run --noexec --keep --target driver
- in subdirectory
driver
replaceevdi.tar.gz
by the downloaded (latest) version of evdi - change to subdirectory
driver
and install DisplayLink;SYSTEMINITDAEMON=systemd ./displaylink-installer.sh
- activate 2nd monitor:
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 4 0
putting the command into
/etc/X11/Xsession.d/96rho_init_xrandr
;
Sometimes DisplayLink does not work as expected.
The next commands may be helpful in this case:
lsusb -d 17e9: # vendor ID of DisplayLink devices systemctl status displaylink-driver.service systemctl restart displaylink-driver.service xrandr --listproviders xrandr --current
Also the MX Service Manager might be helpful.
