I agree with @raghar. The upstream releases are moving way to slowly for the Arch kernel updates. Better to have a potentially not-working evdi-git than a guaranteed not-working evdi.

As a side note: The version number on the evdi-git package 1.6.2.* is not up-to-date. It is not pinned to that version number or a specific release branch, but fetches the master HEAD.

While this didn't build, the evdi-git package works out of the box for me on 5.6.3-arch1-1

evdi-git is working successfully

It seems that after recent Linux update linux headers misalign with evdi once more, so patch needs to be modified to incorporate this changes: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/commit/34d92e8a78a7a3b8df848b61469c783f352e360c

For now I switched to https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi-git/ as I see no point committing to a specific version if driver's authors solution to all issues is "use main branch" instead of regular releases.

Just a reminder -- please don't mark this package as being out of date. It would be considered out of date if DisplayLink releases version newer than the one on AUR. The current 1.6.4 release was released in November 2019 and the new commits that (hopefully) fix building on the various kernel versions have not been pushed in an actual release at this time. I had updated the package with the 5.4 patch, but since then I have seen other kernel versions (4.1.x, 5.x under certain circumstances) that are broken with the various patches that have surfaced.

Thanks walwe, your instructions worked for me. Here's the resulting PKGBUILD.

Download this patch first: https://crazy.dev.frugalware.org/all-in-one-kernel-5.4-and-5.5-test.patch

Then use this PKGBUILD

I can compile by applying the following changes, BUT the performance using displaylink is terrible beyond usable.

Add patch mentioned here to PKGBUILD: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/185#issuecomment-583393014
Remove relro.patch evdi-1.6.4-kernel-5.4.x.patch from PKGBUILD
Add pkg version to install command in PKGBUILD line 55: install -D -m 755 library/$LIBNAME.so.$pkgver $pkgdir/usr/lib/$LIBNAME.so

On Manjaro, facing exactly the same problem as this. https://forum.manjaro.org/t/displaylink-driver-and-evdi-issues-headers-and-kernel-module-tree/126130
I applied the patch, but still can't install it.
