@php4fan On Manjaro Forum, you link to usb32hd2. The product description does not say DisplayLink certified. The chipset is Trigger T6-688SL, Silicon Image - Sil9136-3. One of the images says "Windows 7 or above" with green check over Windows and red X over macOS, ChromeOS, and Linux.

@xiota turns out Pamac had decided to install a version of the kernel headers that didn't match the one of the running kernel.

However, now that everything is installed apparently correctly, it still does nothing. See https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/519 and https://forum.manjaro.org/t/getting-displaylink-to-work-with-startech-adapter-on-wayland/178265/

@php4fan Don't know why it wouldn't work on your system.

$ dkms status | grep evdi
evdi/1.14.10, 6.12.29-1-lts, x86_64: installed
evdi/1.14.10, 6.14.6-arch1-1, x86_64: installed

@xiota I installed evdi-dkms (after installing dkms and linux-headers), but then (even after reboot) I run "dkms status" and it outputs nothing. Isn't it supposed to say something about evdi??

Pulled the trigger on 6.14

linux 6.14.1.arch1-1
evdi 1.14.9-1
displaylink 6.0-0

Working :)

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.

destroyedlolo commented on 2025-02-11 18:18 (UTC)

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

xiota commented on 2025-02-07 16:38 (UTC)

This package should probably be renamed evdi-dkms.
