@MaKaNu Setup is currently usb-c to ASUS display.. BUT for future reference I will just use standards HDMI/miniHDMI, etc.. one of the reasons is: if you put a video on the external display or move your most a lot on the display the driver will hog 25%, open a processmanager and have a look.

Works well for me with evdi 1.14.8 on kernel 6.12.4. Thank you very much! :)

@LinaM, Yeah, thanks. I can confirm, works with evdi-git-1.14.7.r12.g398f065

6.1-1 works fine for me with evdi 1.14.7.r3.g59a3a86-1 (Manjaro, KDE, Kernel 6.6.63) Thx. :-)

A script DLSupportTool.sh was included in the 6.1 release.

I don't think the changelog/release notes can be done dynamically. makepkg fails if the file defined in $changelog is not present at the start.

Also, the evdi is regularly failing to build with new kernels. I was looking for a way to express package dependency upon specific kernel versions, but it doesn't seem possible.

PS. Sorry for the delay. I got busy with a new job.

@MaKaNu

I have a dedicated 2nd display from Asus that hooks up using USB.

I've made some small changes in the aur build of this package and evdi-git and it works again for me.

The edit is not perfect due to version adjustments, but it works ;-)

(did not change the 6.0 to 6.1. Only the date, _pkgfullver, the url to the package and the md5sum)

displaylink (only parts that are relevant to the solution):

...
_releasedate=2024-05
_pkgfullver=6.1.0-17
...
source=(displaylink-driver-${pkgver}.zip::https://www.synaptics.com/sites/default/files/exe_files/${_releasedate}/DisplayLink%20USB%20Graphics%20Software%20for%20Ubuntu6.1-EXE.zip
...
sha256sums=('449815ad7f98f0dbf3d74e9787e5bd37db912c2d953b4d1f049792f2fb3b7cac'
....

And for evdi-git I removed the revert on line 50.:

git revert -n '88ef73df576aacdfff6597616a77b88f42eca4c7'

if the current git commit is giving error's, you can replace the hash at line 50 with this one:

398f065074448e9f6ed4e87443c1a7250ab16c36
