New version released, but would anyone want to maintain this?

I no longer run Arch.

The following patch can be applied to use the latest evdi version in combination with displaylink 5.6.1:

This patch might break when combined with future displaylink versions.

Broken on 6.2, see: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/384#issuecomment-1369665899

Breaks with Linux 6.1.10-arch-1-1 x86_64

Using: displaylink 5.6.1-3 & evdi-git 1.12.0.r6.gbdc258b-1

Anyone else?

@olof if u can't use @direc85's fix, then use the evdi-git package. It has the fix that I authored, as mainlined. Not entirely sure when a new release will be tagged, so that this package works on Kernel 6.0 and newer...

olof commented on 2022-10-30 10:06 (UTC)

The evdi package (evdi 1.12.0-1) failed to load by dkms on my system: what instantaneously addressed the problem for me was to install evdi-git.

displaylink 5.6.1-3, evdi-git 1.12.0.r6.gbdc258b-1, Linux 6.0.5-arch1-1.

@direc85's workaround works for me. Thank you!

direc85 commented on 2022-10-11 08:06 (UTC) (edited on 2022-10-14 07:17 (UTC) by direc85)

Edit: The fix was mainlained, so evdi-git works now as-is.

As kernel 6.0 compatibility isn't yet released, the simplest way is adding this to /usr/src/evdi-1.12.0/evdi_drm_drv.h and running dkms autoinstall:

#if KERNEL_VERSION(6, 0, 0) <= LINUX_VERSION_CODE
#include <drm/drm_framebuffer.h>
#endif

Same issue as @stefanbankow. I can't add evdi to 5.19.3-arch1-1. Same error messages...

stefanbankow commented on 2022-08-24 15:18 (UTC)

Trying to load evdi/1.12.0 on 5.19.3-arch1-1 returns "modprobe: could not insert 'evdi': Invalid argument". Journalctl cotains the error "Invalid btf_info kind_flag, failed to validate module [evdi] BTF: -22". The same happens when trying to load v1.11.0. I tried to install v1.10.1 as well, but dkms failed to build the module.
