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Do NOT flag displaylink out of date unless a new Displaylink version is released.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)
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.
I only get it to work if i go in to stable kernel (lts):
➜ uname -srm
Linux 6.1.15-1-lts x86_64
Install the package evdi, and install displaylink otherwise (default kernel, evdi-git, evdi-git edited like @apoc139 sugested) it is giving me errors.
This is the kernel where it fails for me:
➜ uname -srm
Linux 6.2.2-arch1-1 x86_64
Thanks @djallits!
For anyone wondering, the easiest method to patch it is to just grab the PKGBUILD from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi-git
and replace the original repo with listout's fork: https://github.com/listout/evdi
Also remove the pkgver() function from the PKGBUILD
Then run the usual makepkg -si command and you are golden.
Thank you, @djallits! My DisplayLink is working again!
Can confirm @jaminW report
➜ uname -srm
Linux 6.2.1-arch1-1 x86_64
Edit: The following pull request will resolve the issue once merged. https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/401
As of the most recent ARCH update on 2/22/2023, display no longer detects monitors on my computer.
5.6.1-3 works with AUR package evdi-git 1.12.0.r6.gbdc258b (5.10.167-1-MANJARO kernel) for me too.
