Edit: The fix was mainlained, so evdi-git works now as-is.

As kernel 6.0 compatibility isn't yet released, the simplest way is adding this to /usr/src/evdi-1.12.0/evdi_drm_drv.h and running dkms autoinstall:

#if KERNEL_VERSION(6, 0, 0) <= LINUX_VERSION_CODE
#include <drm/drm_framebuffer.h>
#endif

Same issue as @stefanbankow. I can't add evdi to 5.19.3-arch1-1. Same error messages...

Trying to load evdi/1.12.0 on 5.19.3-arch1-1 returns "modprobe: could not insert 'evdi': Invalid argument". Journalctl cotains the error "Invalid btf_info kind_flag, failed to validate module [evdi] BTF: -22". The same happens when trying to load v1.11.0. I tried to install v1.10.1 as well, but dkms failed to build the module.

Note that at the time of writing, AUR displaylink package is still at 5.6.

If you actually have displaylink 5.6.1 and evdi 1.12, try running sudo mkinitcpio -P and rebooting. I've had to do it a few times after upgrade, I don't know what really causes it.

Does not work anymore for me... I tried all configurations I think. 1.12 and 5.6.1 1.11 and 5.6.0-1

5.19-3-arch1-1 only works with evdi 1.10 or 1.11, 1.12 doesn't seem to work. I'm using it with displaylink 5.6

I am having issues with Kernel v5.19-3-arch1-1. I can't start the displaylink service. I was running evdi 1.10.0, I upgraded to 1.12 and also tried evdi-git but no luck... Anyone else?

version 1.12.0 is not working with 5.15 as well. had to roll back to 1.11.0-2

Hmm, feeling a bit mixed about bumping this. :/

Hopefully upstream will fix the issues soon, as I cannot downgrade versions.

I had the issue also with Kernel v5.10.131. A manual downgrade to evdi v1.11.0 was needed to get my displays back.
