[SOLVED]evdi with kernel 5.18

I adjust the PKGBUILD of evdi to version 1.11.0 but seems not to work with latest Kernel 5.18 of ArchLinux.

Someone gets working?

Re: [SOLVED]evdi with kernel 5.18

Seems to not work is not an error message. Post your entire makepkg log/console output. https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=57855

Re: [SOLVED]evdi with kernel 5.18

There is no error log it’s installing proper the dkms module on kernel 5.18 but not recognising the external display which is working with evdi 1.10.0 and the lts kernel

Re: [SOLVED]evdi with kernel 5.18

Try the usual current culprit and boot with the ibt=off kernel parameter.

Can someone rewiev my PKGBUILD code?

Re: [SOLVED]evdi with kernel 5.18

Works now!

Somebody else had a USB issue that the Keyboard not works at first initialize?

Re: [SOLVED]evdi with kernel 5.18

I can confirm that the newest evdi version (1.11.0) works with the updated displaylink. Had some problems after updating the kernel
