Description-en: Extensible Virtual Display Interface driver kernel module
The Extensible Virtual Display Interface (EVDI) is a Linux kernel
module that enables management of multiple screens, allowing user-space
programs to take control over what happens with the image. It is
essentially a virtual display you can add, remove and receive
screen updates for, in an application that uses the libevdi library.
.
The module and library is part of the DisplayLink Ubuntu development
which enables support for DisplayLink USB 3.0 devices on Ubuntu.
.
Please note that this is NOT a complete driver for DisplayLink devices.
.
This package installs the kernel module needed for creating the virtual
displays.
