@xiota indeed it was the result of a failed evdi-1.14.10 to evdi-dkms-1.14.11 upgrade before that. 🤦

Thanks and sorry for the noise!

It doesn't seem to support kernel v6.17 yet:

==> dkms install --no-depmod evdi/1.14.10 -k 6.17.2-arch1-1
Deprecated feature: CLEAN (/var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.14.10/source/dkms.conf)

Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 6.17.2-arch1-1 (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.14.10/build/make.log for more information.
==> WARNING: `dkms install --no-depmod evdi/1.14.10 -k 6.17.2-arch1-1' exited 10

Rolling back to latest 6.16 kernel works perfectly for me.

This package doesn't include the header for the library. Please consider adding this diff to handle this:

@kumelemuel That's likely outside the scope of packaging. Consider opening an issue upstream if it hasn't already been reported. Make sure to provide sufficient information about your hardware and software for developers to replicate the problem.

Possibly related? DisplayLink/evdi/523

I only get a blank screen, but it does recognize my screen when I plug it in.

When compiling I get the following warning:

==> dkms install --no-depmod evdi/1.14.10 -k 6.16.0-arch2-1
Deprecated feature: CLEAN (/usr/src/evdi-1.14.10/dkms.conf)

@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/
