Are you using the latest driver? yes
Are you using the latest EVDI version? yes 1.14.4-0
If you are using a DisplayLink device, have you checked 'troubleshooting' on DisplayLink's website? yes
Is this issue related to evdi/kernel? yes

Linux distribution and its version ArchLinux
Linux kernel version 6.8.9-arch1-2
Xorg version (if used) Wayland
Desktop environment in use KDE6

I've just upgraded to 6.9.1 kernel and evdi stopped working. After downgrading to 6.8.9.arch1-2 it works again.

Could you please show us the failing make.log? The code seems to build with Linux's master

I'm having somewhat of a similar issue. If I'm using kernel 6.8.10 and above, wayland seems to not work at all. I'm on GNOME and the option for GNOME goes away completely, leaving to use GNOME with only Xorg.

it's working now, strange. The issue may have been related to dkms, not evdi, because after looking at /var/lib/dkms/evdi directory I couldn't find 6.9.1 version. Thanks @displaylink-emajewsk for mentioning make.log that led me there. Then update to 6.9.1 kernel triggered dkms that created new evdi module that got loaded correctly on reboot.
