5.7.1-version works fine with evdi-compat-git (Manjaro kernel 6.3.5) Thx.

It seems like there's a new version of DisplayLink with "preliminary support" for kernel 6.2.

Release: 5.7 | Apr 20, 2023

@zertyz: The current PKGBUILD of displaylink is compatible with evdi-compat-git. There is nothing to be changed. This package is not out of date.

A better workaround than recompiling evdi 1.13 as 1.12.1 is to install the package evdi-compat-git instead. I just did that and I was able to fully update my system. Displaylink is working as it should.

IMHO, the mainteiner of this package should make it, temporarily, depend on that one and save all his users all this unnecessary trouble.

This, alone, would suffice (again, IMHO), for users to legitmately flag this package as outdated -- since the environment changed, breaking the building of this package, which could be fixed by a PKGFILE edit (even if no upstream code had changed).

So, even if a new Displaylink version isn't released, the update would bring version 5.6.1-3 to 5.6.1-4 and solve all issues.

Note: You need the kernel module evdi in a version which is both compatbile with displaylink as well as with the current kernel.

Displaylink is not ready for evdi-1.13.0 yet because of a changed API.

Use evdi-compat-git or a similar patched evdi to make it work with the current kernel. The displaylink package itself does not need to be changed.

Do NOT flag displaylink out of date unless a new Displaylink version is released.

@Mithras The workaround is to build evdi 1.13 as 1.12.1 (see https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/406#issuecomment-1471872488)

Is there a workaround to make it work with evdi-git 1.13? I can install it by removing version constraint but it doesn't work.

I stumbled about this also today. At the end the fix @apoc139 together with freshest kernel worked for my setup. I still wondering where the pkgver() was used in the PACKAGEBUILD.

I only get it to work if i go in to stable kernel (lts):

➜ uname -srm 
Linux 6.1.15-1-lts x86_64

Install the package evdi, and install displaylink otherwise (default kernel, evdi-git, evdi-git edited like @apoc139 sugested) it is giving me errors.

This is the kernel where it fails for me:

➜ uname -srm 
Linux 6.2.2-arch1-1 x86_64

apoc139 commented on 2023-03-01 19:51 (UTC)

Thanks @djallits!

For anyone wondering, the easiest method to patch it is to just grab the PKGBUILD from here: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi-git

and replace the original repo with listout's fork: https://github.com/listout/evdi

Also remove the pkgver() function from the PKGBUILD

Then run the usual makepkg -si command and you are golden.
