{{Important|This article is using the kernel version 5.15.19-gentoo with evdi version 1.10.0. Because the drm/drm_irq.h header file was [|removed from kernel 5.14+, one can not install 1.9.1 version of evdi into newer kernels.

Installation
There is currently no evdi ebuild available in the official gentoo repository, but one can easily setup an alternative repositories to install a package from. These unofficial ebuild containers called overlays and one can add a new source with the eselect repository command:

This will create a directory at /usr/src/evdi-1.10.0 which contains the source code of the kernel module. This can be installed either manually or with the [[User:DBognar/dkms|dkms tool]. In this article we're going to use the second way.
