Arch Linux User Repository

There is a lot of movement with the upstream issue tracker. I will update the package once the changes are accepted upstream. Please do not mark the package out of date unless there is a new release by Displaylink.

Works for me! Thanks @gifts!!!

https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/185#issuecomment-581985775 - currently solves build problem for me, relevant patch to PKGBUILD to apply:

Looks like this is the upstream bug:

https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/185

Won't build against kernel 5.5.1

Anyone else got the problem of a permanently running fan (X1 Carbon 6th gen) after updating this package to the recent version (1.6.4-2)?

I did 'fork' this package to a evdi-4.19 one which is the same without the 5.4 patch. Not an ideal solution, but may help. (at least helps me :) )

https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi-4.19

I hope I'll delete it soon

As of release 1.6.4-2 I cannot compile this package anymore on Manjaro Linux using kernel 4.19. Anyone else having similar issues ?

Hi, sorry to tell : it fails on 4.19.75-1-lts (probably on all 4.19.xxx-lts)

Also on 5.3.13 (update to 5.4 fails, see further below)

Consult /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.6.4/build/make.log for more information

make[1]: Entering directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.19.75-1-lts/build' test -e include/generated/autoconf.h -a -e include/config/auto.conf || ( \

echo >&2; \

echo >&2 " ERROR: Kernel configuration is invalid."; \

echo >&2 " include/generated/autoconf.h or include/config/auto.conf are missing.";\

echo >&2 " Run 'make oldconfig && make prepare' on kernel src to fix it."; \

echo >&2 ; \

/bin/false)

Edit for 5.4 kernel i get this error : module not found: `aes_x86_64' https://www.reddit.com/r/archlinux/comments/e56i0p/kernel_54_now_in_core/

but kernel still boots ... weird

looks like I'm trapped in an vicious circle :)

Thank you very much all for your hard work, it compiles fine again.
