both my external monitors stopped working after upgrading.
First tried with evdi-git as described by @homelessuser, but that did not resolve the problem.
What worked out for me was the xorg-server downgrade as described by @xamindar.

Thank you homelessuser, you are correct. Could not get x to work after upgrading.
Downgrading the following xorg-server packages resolved the issue: pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.20.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-common-1.20.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-xvfb-1.20.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

The screens attached to my docking station stopped working on Kernel 5.7.9
Uninstalling evdi and installing evdi-git as suggested by @homelessuser fixed the problem for me.

5.8 Kernel + evdi 1.8 + Displaylink didn't seem to work 5.8 Kernel + evdi-git 1.7 + Displaylink fixed it
sudo pacman -Rns evdi displaylink
yay evdi-git
yay displaylink
sudo modprobe udl
reboot
EDIT: Also read the comment a above this one for the fix for xorg 1.20.9 latest
