Arch Linux User Repository

Anyone on a machine using the i915 iGPU driver only + evdi-git and this package on KDE Plasma Wayland and not able to log into the Plasma Wayland session while using DisplayLink?

@djallits Linux 6.0.1-arch1-1 x86_64 breaking this is actually a problem with evdi. Fix is mainlined in evdi-git. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi#comment-884724 for fix.

For google:

displaylink.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'evdi': Invalid argument

DisplayLink 5.6.1-3 breaks on Linux 6.0.1-arch1-1 x86_64. I am digging into the issue now, but I just wanted to warn anyone else.

The displaylink patch works and my extra monitors work better than before. I no longer has the cursor jitteriness after upgrading to:

evdi: aur/evdi displaylink: direc85's github for displaylink kernel: 5.19.7-arch1-1

evdi/displaylink doesn't work with LTS kernel however.

Thanks @kleofas(!!!): now it works with evdi 1.12.0.1 and Kernel 5.19.1 (Manjaro)

@Morta: replace <-rows with >-rows (ignore lines that start with numbers)

Ready to use repo with direc85's patch bellow: https://github.com/seb-sky/aur-displaylink

• Remove downloading the changelog as it does not work

Confirming that this combination works with recent hardware, e.g. i-tec CATRIPLEDOCKPDPRO

Edit: Added .SRCINFO and more notes.

• Bump displaylink version to 5.6.1
• Bump evdi dependency to 1.12.0
• Include downloading the changelog, too (but id doesn't work apparently?)
• Use now-provided aarch64 driver for aarch64 (untested)
• Include both PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO

How I add exacalty this diff? When I add the whole code to the bottom or top of PKGBUILD it fails. I can't find anywhere a tutorial how add a diff to PKGBUILD.

Thanks so much for sharing, @kleofas. Now my 3rd monitor works again! It also works with the standard evdi package I just upgraded -- version 1.12.0-1
