@The_Loko, that worked for me! I was using a different URL for the patch, thanks for providing the exact snippet.

Hopefully this gets merged soon!

The github patch can be added to PKGBUILD replacing the following lines, the package alread applies all patches on prepare function: (https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/401)

source=(
  'git+https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi'
  'https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/401.patch'
)
source[0]+='#branch=devel'

Builds successfully now for me, but the package() in PKGBUILD fails with the following error:

Too many libs

Seems to be due to newly introduced shared library file:

$ ls -l ~/.cache/paru/clone/evdi-git/pkg/evdi-git/usr/lib
total 108
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frazar frazar 33992 Mar  8 09:12 libevdi.so
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frazar frazar 33992 Mar  8 09:12 libevdi.so.1

My current solution is to temporarily apply the patch of https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/401 This looks like this (with paru):

cd ~/.cache/paru/clone/evdi-git/src/evdi/
wget https://patch-diff.githubusercontent.com/raw/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/401.patch
git apply 401.patch
git commit -am "Apply fix for newer kernels manually"
cd ../..
makepkg -esi

I expect you will have to force-pull the branch next update.

Broken since 2023-3-1 for me, have to manual fix this by doing this: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/displaylink#comment-904294

@djallits I've tried applying the patch, and DKMS fails for me. Is it because this patch hasn't been updated for kernel 6.2.2? That's the only thing I can think of.

I've tried adding the GitHub link to the patch in the source=() array, it seems to download OK but I see this error repeated in the build log:

error: ‘struct drm_fb_helper’ has no member named ‘fbdev’; did you mean ‘dev’?

The following Pull Request resolves the issue. https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/pull/401

If you guys are having issues with compiling on Linux Kernel versions 6.2 and newer, you might want to stay on 6.1 and lower, from the package archive on archive.org or from the linux-lts package until a fix is released upstream.

@mszs the module should be installed via DKMS... Pls show the output of running sudo dkms status on your machine.

I'm using kernel 5.15.78 on Manjaro. I've tried both evdi and evdi-git. With both I get the same: when I do sudo modprobe evdi initial_device_count=2 the machine quasi-hangs. I can no longer enter anything in the terminal window where I issued the command, I cannot change windows or desktops. Control-Alt-F2 still works...
