Well, rhermes says they'll get to updating it sometime this weekend, but in the meantime you can just do this. That did the trick for me.

@cdbfoster
how did you get displaylink 5.1.26-1 installed? I'm still running 4.4.24-1 and I'm also running the linux LTS version. I have the same evdi version though.
I'd appreciate any tips on how to upgrade displaylink manually.
thanks.

There is now an evdi 1.6. Maybe that will work for you. This is currently working for me:
- evdi 1.6.0-1
- displaylink 5.1.26-1
- linux 4.20.13.arch1-1

I get "Installing DLM systemd service Extracting DisplayLink Driver Package
Failed to parse arguments: Unknown option -title".
Any idea on what to do?

a) Nope, see here: https://github.com/DisplayLink/evdi/issues/58 b) See literally one posts below yours

Does DisplayLink work with Wayland or at least XWayland?
Also, any plans to upgrade it to 5.1+ version?

I'll look at this as soon as I can, most likely next weekend!

After trying an update, I reverted back to using the old setup:
xf86-video-intel-1_2.99.917+823+gd9bf46e4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-vesa-2.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-common-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-xwayland-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz (with evdi-git)
When I tried the latest updates yesterday ( evdi 1.5.1-2 displaylink 4.4.24-1 linux 4.20.arch1-1 )
The screen worked -- kind of. The mouse had a weird ghosting artifact that was too distracting. I run a Cinnamon Desktop, so perhaps it could also be an interaction with that.
Do things work for anyone without any trouble (and with which desktop)? I could still be doing something wrong.

Looks like the latest package release from DisplayLink is v5.1 on 2019-02-19.

hi all,
why is this package suddenly flagged as "out of date" ? is there a newer alternative?
