[Request] xf86-video-fbdev with Damage support (Displaylink support)

After upgrading to X.org 1.9, my displaylink monitor stopped working,
as the driver wasn't upgraded.

According to this thread:
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.comp.fr … libdlo/433
(and this post)
http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.f … libdlo/444

This patched fbdev should make my displaylink device work against X.org 1.9.

Can somebody please help me with this package?

This is how far I got with the PKGBUILD:

# This is an example PKGBUILD file. Use this as a start to creating your own,
# and remove these comments. For more information, see 'man PKGBUILD'.
# NOTE: Please fill out the license field for your package! If it is unknown,

  ./configure --prefix=/usr

  make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
} 

I would really apreciate any help on making this package work, so that I can use my monitor again.
