I have tried to install evdo-1.9.1 and still can't get it to work. I have Wayland and sway. Any ideas?

I have even tried the displaylink-beta package, with both evdi-1.10 and 1.9 - no success.

@mix You need to modify PKGBUILD to include +source[0]+='#commit=d6b28414a4ceb41a904077318b48fa8a7d8981d1' See direc85 post.

@Dragma Thanks! Why does this happen? Really weird.

evdi v1.10.0 was officially only released today. So maybe they also release a displaylink non-beta soon

Shouldn't this package be updated to set evdi=1.9.1 as a dependency, not >=, since it doesn't work with 1.10?

Dragma commented on 2022-01-03 08:44 (UTC)

Be careful, ZenScreen users. This displaylink module relies on the evdi package. Since the upgrade of this evdi package from 1.9.1 to 1.10.0, my Asus ZenScreen stoped working. If you have such a screen, prefer install evdi dependance evdi-amd-vmap-texture which has its evdi version still in 1.9.1.

Could you please add https://www.synaptics.com/products/displaylink-graphics as upstream URL? :)

Edit: Why the hell are they using spaces in their download links? :S

@mix: I'm using X11 too - with a force-modesetting.conf (/etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/); perhaps it helps...? No lagging here.

@mix Could you please test Wayland? I have read X11 needs some tweaks and may have performance issues:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink#Configuring_X_Server

It's weird however you need to set AccelMethod to none, I'm not on X11 (Wayland) so I'm unable to test if this is really needed. I'm also running linux-zen, don't know if this can make a difference as this has some desktop tweaks.

Good luck!

Thank you for the answer @francoism90. I am using X11. I want to note here that this decrease in performance compared to the previous version is significant and it is such a decrease in performance that, for example: the video content played on YouTube lags every time I move the mouse a bit, a similar situation is with any window animation or even text selection . Overall: the performance of the current driver is noticeably worse. And here I would very much like the previous driver to be available somewhere, because in my case it worked much better and I was very happy with it. I will probably have to apply 5.10.63-1 and compile the previous driver myself.
