The 1.68 displayed on the website seems to have the same checksum as the 1.62 (the .run file included). There are available patches to make evdi compile in 4.7 (on github)

please add this patch: https://github.com/RobertCochran/evdi/commit/0d80a3b7a8017709449a9938d14a5d10caadf389.patch

installation fails since kernel got upgraded to 4.7.0 A fix can be found here : https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/32

Using version 1.1.62-2, building evdi against linux-4.7-1 via dkms fails. To fix this temporarily until upstream releases a new version, download evdi from [1], move everything from module/ to /usr/src/evdi-1.1.62, then run [2]. [1] https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi [2] dkms install -m evdi -v 1.1.62 -k 4.7.0-1-ARCH

Hey, I'm positive it fails. After installing the package I searched for the module, but there is no evdi.ko found anywhere. If I remove the package with pacman, dkms complains that there is no module to be removed (aka not found). I'm seriously stumped.. Cheers

@kharag are you sure it failed? Cleaning build area fails on my machine as well, but the module builds just fine.

Hey, It seems I can't build the package either manually or with AUR helpers: Building module: cleaning build area...(bad exit status: 2) make KERNELRELEASE=4.5.4-1-ARCH all INCLUDEDIR=/lib/modules/4.5.4-1-ARCH/build/include KVERSION=4.5.4-1-ARCH DKMS_BUILD=1.... cleaning build area...(bad exit status: 2) Kernel cleanup unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping... Install is running through, but the module is not built. Please let me know if I can provide anything to help you, Cheers

@chearius thanks, I had actually updated the package yesterday minus the new download link. But if you are so eager with your patches, do you want to become maintainer? Also, could you please upload your patch file next time or paste it verbatim somewhere so it doesn't get corrupted? Cheers P.S.: source files are extracted automatically.
