@steadfasterX I'm also sometimes experiencing high CPU usage on the DisplayLink process. I don't know either if that's normal or not.

anyone else experiencing high CPU usage for /usr/lib/displaylink/DisplayLinkManager or is just me / my setup? Just bought a displaylink device and don't know if I miss anything here..

running on Kernel 6.1 and all is working fine just that the CPU usage is jumping between 20-100% all the time.. nothing wild connected but I have no idea how to debug (or if its normal or not)

5.7.1-version works fine with evdi-compat-git (Manjaro kernel 6.3.5) Thx.

It seems like there's a new version of DisplayLink with "preliminary support" for kernel 6.2.

Release: 5.7 | Apr 20, 2023

@zertyz: The current PKGBUILD of displaylink is compatible with evdi-compat-git. There is nothing to be changed. This package is not out of date.

A better workaround than recompiling evdi 1.13 as 1.12.1 is to install the package evdi-compat-git instead. I just did that and I was able to fully update my system. Displaylink is working as it should.

IMHO, the mainteiner of this package should make it, temporarily, depend on that one and save all his users all this unnecessary trouble.

This, alone, would suffice (again, IMHO), for users to legitmately flag this package as outdated -- since the environment changed, breaking the building of this package, which could be fixed by a PKGFILE edit (even if no upstream code had changed).

So, even if a new Displaylink version isn't released, the update would bring version 5.6.1-3 to 5.6.1-4 and solve all issues.

Note: You need the kernel module evdi in a version which is both compatbile with displaylink as well as with the current kernel.

Displaylink is not ready for evdi-1.13.0 yet because of a changed API.

Use evdi-compat-git or a similar patched evdi to make it work with the current kernel. The displaylink package itself does not need to be changed.

Do NOT flag displaylink out of date unless a new Displaylink version is released.

@Mithras The workaround is to build evdi 1.13 as 1.12.1 (see https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/406#issuecomment-1471872488)

Mithras commented on 2023-03-10 20:06 (UTC)

Is there a workaround to make it work with evdi-git 1.13? I can install it by removing version constraint but it doesn't work.

I stumbled about this also today. At the end the fix @apoc139 together with freshest kernel worked for my setup. I still wondering where the pkgver() was used in the PACKAGEBUILD.
