displaylink-driver fails to understand kernel version correctly #1
Description
I'm not sure whether this is the right forum to report this, but when I tried to install the displaylink-driver (as per this guide: http://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/615714#ubuntu) I'm getting a script error saying that my kernel is too old (even though it's a rather new one). Script output:
Verifying archive integrity... All good.
Uncompressing DisplayLink Linux Driver 1.0.68 100%
DisplayLink Linux Software 1.0.68 install script called: install
Distribution discovered: Debian GNU/Linux unstable (sid)
Unsatisfied dependencies. Missing component: Kernel version 4.1.0-1-amd64 is too old. At least 3.14 is required.
This is a fatal error, cannot install DisplayLink Linux Software.
It's probably because the script only checks minor versions instead of checking both major and minor, and should be easy to fix.

Thanks for the report - we are aware of this problem and it will be fixed in next releases.
I am closing this issue - this project will only be accepting reports for open-source components of the driver - evdi and libevdi. To report issues in DisplayLink Ubuntu driver, please use our forum at http://displaylink.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=29
Thanks,
Michal
