I've created package aur/evdi-dkms, named in accordance with DKMS package guidelines. Added maintainer of this package as comaintainer. Will eventually open a merge request against this package.

Speaking of guidelines...

Do not include linux-headers – or any other Linux header package – to the PKGBUILD. These headers are already listed as optional dependencies of dkms and each kernel package has its own header package, so including header package dependency in the -dkms package is both unnecessarily redundant and restricting.

Well, actually there's quite a few, e.g. linux(|-hardened|-lts|-rt|-rt-lts|-zen)-headers, so it would be nice if all of them would provide some virtual package, that others can depend on, but this doesn't seem to be the case.

@destroyedlolo No, because not everyone uses the linux package. If you use linux-lts for example, you should install linux-lts-headers, not linux-headers. This applies to every dkms packages.

I suggest adding Linux-headers as dependency, otherwise, it's not installed.

This package should probably be renamed evdi-dkms.

linux 6.13.1.arch1-1
evdi 1.14.8-1
displaylink 6.0-0

This is working :)

If you are having issues with evdi and kernel 6.12, you can switch to the evdi-git AUR package, but have a look at the following comment first:

on the evdi github repo there is pull request with a fix for new kernel failing during dkms install

Why is EVDI constantly breaking on new kernels? Thats frustrating. I don't want to switch to Windows.
