@djallits Linux 6.0.1-arch1-1 x86_64 breaking this is actually a problem with evdi. Fix is mainlined in evdi-git. See https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/evdi#comment-884724 for fix.

For google:

displaylink.service: Control process exited, code=exited, status=1/FAILURE

DisplayLink 5.6.1-3 breaks on Linux 6.0.1-arch1-1 x86_64. I am digging into the issue now, but I just wanted to warn anyone else.

The displaylink patch works and my extra monitors work better than before. I no longer has the cursor jitteriness after upgrading to:

evdi: aur/evdi displaylink: direc85's github for displaylink kernel: 5.19.7-arch1-1

evdi/displaylink doesn't work with LTS kernel however.

Thanks @kleofas(!!!): now it works with evdi 1.12.0.1 and Kernel 5.19.1 (Manjaro)

@Morta: replace <-rows with >-rows (ignore lines that start with numbers)

Ready to use repo with direc85's patch bellow: https://github.com/seb-sky/aur-displaylink

• Remove downloading the changelog as it does not work

Confirming that this combination works with recent hardware, e.g. i-tec CATRIPLEDOCKPDPRO

Edit: Added .SRCINFO and more notes.

• Bump displaylink version to 5.6.1
• Bump evdi dependency to 1.12.0
• Include downloading the changelog, too (but id doesn't work apparently?)
• Use now-provided aarch64 driver for aarch64 (untested)
• Include both PKGBUILD and .SRCINFO

How I add exacalty this diff? When I add the whole code to the bottom or top of PKGBUILD it fails. I can't find anywhere a tutorial how add a diff to PKGBUILD.

Thanks so much for sharing, @kleofas. Now my 3rd monitor works again! It also works with the standard evdi package I just upgraded -- version 1.12.0-1

Confirming -- DisplayLink 5.6.1 and evdi 1.12.0 is a working combination.

Perhaps this should be indicated in the dependencies, since these contain a breaking API change?

(Yes, these are both "patch releases" according to semver, and even evdi documentation mandates major version update (i.e. 2.0.0 instead of 1.12.0) on incompatible API chagnes, but hey, whatever.)
