Are you using latest devel branch from this repository?

Apparently I had swapped to the stable branch, since I had confused myself with the version number. Using the devel branch compiles evdi, but now my displaylink connected monitor wont show up.

If tried reinstalling xorg-server and graphic drivers, since displaylink was recognized as service, but the monitor doesnt show up. In the list of providers the first time it showed "Intel" as provider, after I restarted its "modesetting" now, but the monitor still doesnt show up. Additionaly xrandr settings seem to be a mess, since they change whenever I observe it with the gui tool. I hope this helped you understanding my problem further. If you need more info or so, just tell me.
Btw, should the dkms 5.4.35-1-lts build be created alongside the dkms evdi build for 5.6.7? Since that whats happening whenever I install it via yay.

Ok i fixed the modesetting stuff, apparently the bios update didnt set a flag properly and made the laptop boot in a weird state, where it wouldnt boot with the docking station. Trying to downgrade bios was prevented by the installer, but fixed the boot seguence and the provider. Now its back setting Intel as provider, still cant do evdi tho

@Zetabite Try using the devel branch up to commit 01e246f, don't go past that commit. See if you can get it to work.

I was able to get evdi devel to work with Displaylink 5.2.14 up to that commit. After that, the version of evdi changes to 1.7.0 along with some additional changes.

I will try that, thank you

@elguero perfect, this works! If we are at it, do you might happen to know why my laptop boots flawlessy connected to docking station after running windows, but running linux once will make the laptop not boot at all as long as the docking station is connected?

@Zetabite Great! Glad to help.

I wouldn't really know the answer to your other question. Are you sure it is not trying to boot off of a USB drive connected to the dock?

Wouldnt make sense, since its no problem booting after using windows. Only expiriencing this problem after the bios update yesterday. But I dont know if i should downgrade to the previous bios

@Zetabite May be disabling Windows 10's Fast Startup will help you.

Archlinux kernel 5.6.11 and latest commit from devel branch dc595db compile and work for me. See also my comment for the evdi-git AUR package and #201

Install linux-headers

That was for Archlinux. On Manjaro, you apparently need the correct version, so either linux56-headers or linux-latest-headers. Do a pacman -Ss headers to find the correct one. Or find out how mhwd deals with it.

@bnavigator there's a sudo pacman -S linux56-headers. Bah, I'm afraid of running it. I honestly don't know what I'm doing.

If you are too afraid of installing a distribution package, you should not tinker with AUR packages at all.

I did it, for your information. I ran sudo pacman -S linux56-headers. Who's laughing now?! Mwahaha.

Thanks man. It worked.

After a reboot the monitor connected through DisplayLink isn't working anymore. I've been trying to fix it for the past 6 hours.

mai 12 23:18:13 lucas-gl502vs systemd[1]: Started DisplayLink Manager Service.

I've tried:

  • Installing evdi 1.7
  • Installing evdi-git 1.7
  • Installing evdi 1.6.4-2 (which I had before) and rolling back from Kernel 5.6 (which I had before), to 5.4 (because it's the latest compatible with 1.6.4-2, I don't know how I was using 5.6 with it before)
  • Installing displaylink 5.2.14-1
  • Removing everything above and trying different combinations of each
  • Removing everything and upgrading to Kernerl 5.7, hoping that the default udl DRM would kick-in, as it did in a clean Manjaro installation
  • Set Pageflip false because I'm running a Nvidia proprietary driver
  • Blacklist udlfb module and trying to make sure udl is loaded
  • Debugged dkms and xrandr

This is my pacman history from yesterday to today. It doens't include the pamac builds and makepkgs I did for running downgraded versions of the packages, etc:

It's exactly the same pain I had when trying to set this on Ubuntu last year. I was so glad that it worked out of the box on Manjaro when I switched to it. Damn...

@Luc45 Just something I noticed in your combinations of tries, DisplayLink 5.2.14 does not work with evdi 1.7.0. You need the latest DisplayLink drivers which is 5.3.1 if you are installing evdi 1.7.0.
