Keep in mind, that updating to >= 1.13.0 will break displaylink.

So using Stuff provided by @The_Loko and setting source[0]+='#commit=28b75c967cdac30b77277fe8961cc0676b90351e' everything works for me again (using nvidia-lts and linux-lts)

Looks like they fixed the libs problem. I removed the "too many libs" code.

I can't make it work. Either patch doesn't apply or "Too many libs". Not sure what commit I need to apply the patch to. It doesn't apply to current #branch=devel: "Reversed (or previously applied) patch detected! Skipping patch."

@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'
md5sums=('SKIP' 'SKIP')

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
-rwxr-xr-x 1 frazar frazar 33992 Mar  8 09:12 libevdi.so.1.13.0

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’?
