evdi akmod and DisplayLink support on Bluefin-base...
# questions
t
Hi, I use a DisplayLink adapter, so I need the
evdi
akmod, available through
akmods-extra
, which is only being built for the
bazzite
kernel, but my image is based on Bluefin, which uses the
main
Fedora kernel. Should I replace the kernel with bazzite's or build the akmod in a separate stage? (Honestly, I have no idea on how to do both) Thanks

it seems that kmod-evdi is taken from fedora-multimedia repo, so i think you should be able to use fedora-multimedia's...? emphasis on think bc i have never needed to use extra a/kmods before 😭

Thea akmods module it's supposed to take automatically from negativo17 repo, but idk. It fails with "nothing provides kernel-uname-r = 6.13.9-104.bazzite"

You could use this as a starting point: https://github.com/sukarn-m/sukarn-ublue/blob/main/files/scripts/coreos_kernel.sh Then set AKMOD_FLAVOR to "bazzite", and change the dnf lines to install the kmods that you want.
Oh, and you may need to modify it a bit more to add the bazzite kernel from its repository. Not sure since I haven't tried it myself. https://github.com/ublue-os/kernel-cache/pkgs/container/bazzite-kernel
