I can confirm that it does not build against 4.9.6. Here's the error message: /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_connector.c: In function ‘evdi_connector_init’: /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_connector.c:148:24: error: ‘struct drm_mode_config’ has no member named ‘dirty_info_property’; did you mean ‘tile_property’? dev->mode_config.dirty_info_property, 1); ^ /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_modeset.c: In function ‘evdi_modeset_init’: /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_modeset.c:375:2: error: implicit declaration of function ‘drm_mode_create_dirty_info_property’ [-Werror=implicit-function-declaration] drm_mode_create_dirty_info_property(dev); ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:293: /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_connector.o] Error 1 make[2]: *** Waiting for unfinished jobs.... if [ "-pg" = "-pg" ]; then if [ /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_encoder.o != "scripts/mod/empty.o" ]; then ./scripts/recordmcount "/var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_encoder.o"; fi; fi; if [ "-pg" = "-pg" ]; then if [ /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_drv.o != "scripts/mod/empty.o" ]; then ./scripts/recordmcount "/var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_drv.o"; fi; fi; cc1: some warnings being treated as errors make[2]: *** [scripts/Makefile.build:293: /var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build/evdi_modeset.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [Makefile:1490: _module_/var/lib/dkms/evdi/1.2.64/build] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory '/usr/lib/modules/4.9.6-1-ARCH/build' make: *** [Makefile:21: all] Error 2

Doesn't seem to work with the latest 4.9.6 kernel updated yesterday

You are right, of course, but the person flagging this out of date could have checked as well.

Hi PlusMinus, the last update of the package does not work correctly. The problem is that you are distributing a devel release, as explained in this issue https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/74#issuecomment-275076321 Please downgrade to the latest master release v1.2.64. For the future, please check if the release is done under the master branch. Thank you

They are optional dependencies for dkms, I suppose the reason is that you can have different kernels and therefore can't be sure which headers are needed.

Looks like there's a missing dependency: linux-headers see last comment on : https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/displaylink/ Maybe this dep should be added to dkms itself, dunno...

Upstream releases are a little slow. Next time this package breaks I might create an evdi-git package.
