On LTS, replacing evdi-compat-git with evdi was enough to fix this.

I am unable to get this to work properly on kernel 6.1.1, with evdi/evdi-git/evdi-compat-git. My display shows up and I can move a window to it with keyboard shortcuts, but as soon as i move my cursor to it, it disconnects and DisplayLinkMana core dumps. I am using a dell D6000 and Arch, latest of any evdi or displaylink

@danielkrajnik No, kernels from version 6.6.0 are still broken.

@endorfina Sorry, do you mean that it should work now? I've tried upgrading displaylink and the kernel, but after reboot displaylink still didn't run.

Apologies, it appears that the udev rules weren't properly updated to 5.8. 😅 I ran systemctl enable displaylink, which isn't something you're meant to do, and I missed udev not working. The service should now turn itself on/off automatically when plugging in the device.

@fdo10 Have you tried using the evdi package? evdi-compat-git doesn't work for me at all with displaylink-5.8.
Also, a kernel API change in 6.6 breaks evdi as well. I'll pin @danielkrajnik's comment as downgrading fixes things.

I confirm. It's currently not working with: kernel 6-1.62-1-lts; displaylink-5.8-0; evdi-compat-git-1.14.03-1

upgrade broke displaylink for me: journalctl -u displaylink.service -ef:
modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/6.6.1-arch1-1
thanks @nonickknown - after running sudo downgrade linux linux-headers to 6.5.9-arch2-1 I got it to work again.
I've had to also downgrade displaylink to 5.7 paru -U .cache/paru/clone/displaylink/displaylink-5.7-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst.

I got the same problem like Segaja mentioned, no displays with kernel(-headers) 6.6.1.arch1-1. After downgrading kernel to 6.5.9.arch2-1 and reinstalling evdi if works fine again.

I can confirm at this point (displaylink 5.8-0) it works with evdi 1.14.1-0 and linux kernel 6.1. So no need of evdi-compat-git right now.
