I am encountering the same problem as Hal5000.

The module does not build on linux 4.11. Here an excerpt from the make.log https://nopaste.me/view/8b28f257 It seems to be the incompatible pointer type also faced by nvidia and VMWare. Do you see a possibility fixing it? Thank you for maintaining this driver, it helps a lot!

@blacoste it’s an optional dependency for dkms and there’s a reason it’s optional, just look at the other optional dependencies: linux-grsec-headers, linux-headers, linux-lts-headers, linux-zen-headers Not everybody uses the default kernel and therefor you can’t force dependencies for the headers.

package "linux-headers" is missing and shall be added from declared dependencies. $ makepkg -sri [...] DKMS: add completed. Error! echo Your kernel headers for kernel 4.10.11-1-ARCH cannot be found at /usr/lib/modules/4.10.11-1-ARCH/build or /usr/lib/modules/4.10.11-1-ARCH/source. error: command failed to execute correctly :: Running post-transaction hooks...

After a little bit of investigation and digging, in my case the problem beside kernel and xorg-server version, Nvidia optimus bumblebee package causes the frozen screen problem because, i think, it changes my xorg ouputs for example from VGA1 to VGA-1 or from DVI-I-1 to DVI-I-1-1. So i feel like either evdi or displaylink is not updated to deal with those changes in the newest packages of xorg-server and nvidia. The solution for me was to rollback to kernel 4.9.11-1 with xorg-server 1.19.1 and deleted bumblebee and nvidia packges. Displaylink works fine now, but with this solution, I'm forced to use Xf86-video-intel so no gaming for me using my GTX950m for now, this is sad we need more support plz.

Even if it builds, downgrade to xorg 1.1.19.1 does not work anymore. Anyone have another fix for this or alternatives to display-link.

This needs libdrm in makedepends to build.

I had the same problem with the frozen screens passing through DisplayLink after a system upgrade. The truongan's suggestion worked for me. The problem is within xorg 1.19.2 just rolling back to 1.19.1 fixed the problem. I hope this issue will be fixed for all the latest xorg updates in the future.

@PlusMinus: I can get a static image like that, but the displaylink monitor is totally frozen. I have not yet tried truongan's suggestion to downgrade xorg yet.

truongan commented on 2017-02-10 13:48 (UTC)

@PlusMinus: They really work? AFAIK latest evdi (in devel branch from upstrem) doesn't work with the latest displaylink, got a bunches of mode reject message.
