@bnavigator: not sure how useful that is, but it's all I can see when updating in Manjaro:

[...]
==> Entering fakeroot environment...
==> Starting package()...
Adding udev rule for DisplayLink DL-3xxx/5xxx devices
Installing DLM systemd service
Extracting DisplayLink Driver Package

(xfce4-terminal:7643): dbind-WARNING **: 10:09:54.209: Couldn't register with accessibility bus: Did not receive a reply. Possible causes include: the remote application did not send a reply, the message bus security policy blocked the reply, the reply timeout expired, or the network connection was broken.
xfce4-terminal: Unknown option "-title"
==> ERROR: A failure occurred in package().
    Aborting...

If you could tell me if there's anything specific I can do to get more info, I'd gladly include more.

Am a Manjaro user. I was able to install by using pamac in the command line with no issues. I finally got my extended display back, woo hoo!

Nothing sets evdi-git as dependency. AUR just displays it as possible provider for evdi (if you use a version below 1.8.0)

evdi-git is now moved to 1.8.0 which does not build for kernel 5.10 and breaks displaylink.

Suggest setting evdi package as dependency.

Instead of:

evdi<1.8.0 (evdi-git)
evdi>=1.7.0 (evdi-git)

Use:

evdi<1.8.0 (evdi)
evdi>=1.7.0 (evdi)

@DavidH:I'm getting the same error. What works:

1) install edvi 1.7.2-1 and check that it is bound to your active kernel correctly (i.e. sudo modprobe evdi)

2) install displaylink 5.3.1.34-4 with

yay displaylink (strange, but this avoids the "Unknown option -title" error)

3) Enable and start the displaylink service:

sudo systemctl enable displaylink.service

sudo systemctl start displaylink.service

This should switch to your external screen immediately.

@DavidH: I'm getting pretty much the same error (Unknown option -title) on Manjaro with Xfce. However, I've used it before, so I'm stuck on v5.3.1.34-2 (which works), but not sure if it's possible for you to install an older version.

Hi,

I’ve been trying to install the displaylink driver in Manjaro (besides getting it to work which is a different story). Just the installation of the 5.3.1.34 version. It keeps failing with the following log:

==> Retrieving sources...
   -> Found displaylink-driver-5.3.1.34.zip
   -> Found udev.sh

I’m using the 5.9.11-3 kernel, have Gnome, have the headers installed, it chooses the 1.7.3 evdi package… Not sure what else is/could be relevant.

Does it work for others (on a fresh-ish install)?

The latest Release of xorg-xserver 1.20.10-1 has fixed the crashing for me. No need to downgrade or pinning the xorg packages to 1.20.8-3 anymore.
