Evdi 1.14.4 works well on 6.9.3 and 6.8.9, but not on 6.8.10 ;)

Hello!
JFYI ;)
Thank you for regularly update evdi with changes, which helps for performance on additional screens.

@sabinich how did you get it to work on 6.9.3? It still fails with modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.9.3-arch1-1.

I didn't do anything. It works from at box on Ubuntu with xanmod kernel.
