I have not gotten this driver to install since I started trying hours ago. I am using 5.11.1-zen1-1-zen. The sha256sum check fails on displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.zip.

The download link is broken. The following is the currently working link for me:

Could successfully install the driver on kernel 5.9.16-1. Steps to reproduce:

  • Install evdi:

pamac build evdi

dkms status should output something like: evdi, 1.7.2, 5.9.16-1-MANJARO, x86_64: installed

If you get ==> Unable to install module evdi/1.7.2 for kernel 5.9.16-1-MANJARO: Missing kernel headers. then you need to install the right kernel headers: sudo pacman -S linux-headers

  • Install displaylink driver:

git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/displaylink.git cd displaylink/ makepkg -si

Is kernel 5.11 not supported? Using evdi 1.7.2-1.

modprobe evdi fails with "modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.11.1-arch1-1".

Couldnt find any information regarding supported kernel versions. Put in place an issue on the evdi GitHub.

@bnavigator I did, but I have no idea how to "provide a trace where this flag is set and why it is seen inside the package build". That's why I asked if there are any specific steps to do that.

@m3Lith: just read the pinned comment!

@bnavigator: not sure how useful that is, but it's all I can see when updating in Manjaro:

[...]
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices

If you could tell me if there's anything specific I can do to get more info, I'd gladly include more.

Am a Manjaro user. I was able to install by using pamac in the command line with no issues. I finally got my extended display back, woo hoo!

Nothing sets evdi-git as dependency. AUR just displays it as possible provider for evdi (if you use a version below 1.8.0)
