@francoism90 Thank you very much sir, was able to work with your version of evdi on version 5.15

Yeah, it's really sad this still hasn't been updated/improved upstream.

This is my repo with fixes provided by other users (if useful): https://github.com/francoism90/evdi

Broken in Linux 5.15.

In the meantime, I created a repo with a working patch based on some suggestions from GitHub user infinytum in the upstream project: https://github.com/mcardillo55/evdi-git

Upstream thread: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/308

This doesn't seem to compile Linux v5.15. :(

To stop the journal messages, I've created a simple patch:

// 0001-allow-loglevel-none.patch
--- a/module/evdi_debug.h
+++ b/module/evdi_debug.h
@@ -11,7 +11,7 @@

 #include "evdi_params.h"

-#define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_ALWAYS  0
+// #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_ALWAYS  0
 #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_FATAL   1
 #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_ERROR   2
 #define EVDI_LOGLEVEL_WARN    3

This will stop the spamming when using something like this:

// /etc/modprobe.d/evdi.conf
options evdi initial_loglevel=0 initial_device_count=4 disable_texture_import=1

It's a bit weird, because when looking at the source code (https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/blob/devel/module/evdi_debug.h#L22), every code seems to print debug messages.

According to https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DKMS_package_guidelines#Dependencies, dkms packages should not list linux-headers as a dependency. Currently, this package pulls in linux-headers on my system even though I'm running the linux-zen kernel.

@Morta This should always use the latest commit.

Can you please update to the latest commit form github ?

With Kernel 5.13 the Lenovo Dockingstation stop working with the LAN and has Pixel faults on GNOME Dekstop and Cinnamon is stop working with evdi
