Since today I have problems with building evdi-git. I realized that my external screens were not recognized and that displaylink could not be started because modprobe evdi failed. I tried to rebuild evid-git and that fails with the following errors:

I'm not sure what I can do to overcome the "invalid reference" in git. Can you help me out?

@zweieuro Have you tried installing linux-headers?

endorfina commented on 2024-02-02 12:04 (UTC)

@MaKaNu Can confirm that commenting out devel fixes evdi

MaKaNu commented on 2024-02-02 09:50 (UTC)

@cedricroijakkers are you sure? The line checking out devel is commtented. Neverless I also got the invalid reference: origin/devel. Checking twice it seems my cached PKGBUILD is still uncommented. Deleted the PKGBUILD and got again the uncommented version.

cedricroijakkers commented on 2024-01-31 08:44 (UTC)

This package is referring to branch devel which does not exist anymore. Can you please switch it to main?

I am on kernel 6.6.7-arch1-1 but after installing evdi-git the modprobe still fails with modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.7-arch1-1

Works well with arch 6.6.7 and displaylink. I have just some freeze but its a minor bugs since I just need each time to disconnect et connect my session and all works perfectly ;)

Exactly that i do on a last Endeavour Galileo version : yay evdi-git yay displaylink sudo modprobe evdi sudo systemctl start displaylink.service sudo systemctl enable displaylink.service

its all :)

@severach, on the basis of @endorfina's comments can the linux-headers-dependency be deleted?

I had problems with evdi/displaylink on 6.6.1 and 6.6.2 using AMD Ryzen on KDE Plasma/wayland. The displays showed but when I moved the mouse to them, it all crashed.

It's working after I added KWIN_FORCE_SW_CURSOR=1 to /etc/environment.

linux-headers shouldn't actually be listed as a dependency. dkms already does the legwork. I amended this in the evdi package recently: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi?O=10#comment-916603
