could you plz provide a systemd service that echo the number of Vfs that are needed , so we dont need to do it each reboot , it well have a variable that one would change it to the needed number of VFs , or if it was set to max is okay i think

Not working with lts kernel.

The i915 kernel module will be available on reboot.

To answer my own questions:

  1. Ordinarily, installing this package will automatically build the DKMS module against the kernel you are running with (with a DKMS pacman hook), which is quite nice.
  2. This will fail silently if the install fails. As it uses the latest git version, this could be for a bunch of reasons. In my case, it wasn't building against kernel 6.9.x. The latest version does support 6.7, and seems to build okay against 6.6, so at the time of posting this comment, installing the LTS kernel allows the module to build and install.
  3. It doesn't matter what version is set in the PKGBUILD - in fact I'd say it should be configured as other VCS PKGBUILDS and have dynamic versioning tied to the commit (I've made that adjustment locally)

Any guidance on how to use this? I've built and installed the package but apart from copying files to /usr/src/i915-sriov-dkms-5.15.71 it doesn't seem to build anything?

Directory: /usr/src/i915-sriov-dkms-6.1 does not exist.

Are we supposed to update the version in the PKGBUILD ourselves? Why is the package version set to a kernel anyway?

thank you for this pkg , and for the dependencies it well be nice if you remove the linux-header , and just echo a note for people to install their respective kernel header
