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.

I've patched the PKGBUILD to use newer version of DisplayLink - 1.1.62. This version is also compatible with linux kernel 4.6.

Thanks for the note @alzuin the repository from which the patch has been pulled was updated. It should work again now. But the reason for the update was that there's a new version of the DisplayLink driver. I'll try to update the package in the next few days.

External link to https://raw.githubusercontent.com/sinfomicien/displaylink-evdi-opensuse/master/evdi-1.0.68-linux-4.5.0.patch is broken and the package doesn't work anymore. If I disable the patch, the compile doesn't works with kernel 4.6.0. Alberto

If you ever feel like adopting this package, just contact me. I will gladly accept any help.

I haven't really been using DisplayLink products as of late and haven't had much time to keep this package up to date. I have stepped down as the maintainer because of this. I hope one of you will take the time and adopt the package then fix some of the issues with it.

@chearius where is the evdi-1.0.335-linux-4.5.0.patch ???

@uter same problem here, but I discovered, that I had to log into my useraccount first, before I start the displaylink service. If the evdi module loads, before the user Xsession is running, the displays are not detected.
