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:

Aborting...
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.

I think the pinned comment still holds. Recently I did updated my Arch again, and when using cinnamon or mate desktops, I can make it work with the comment from sickcodes on 2020-10-15 23:26 on the AUR evdi page (i.e. removes the udev rules.d file + disable displaylink service, then reboot, then start the displaylink service. I then have a flickering mouse pointer which is quite distracting.
When using Gnome Desktop, I don't need to do any of that.
Downloading xorg-server-git or downgrading xorg-server didn't do anything for me - xorg still crashes whenever I try to start with cinnamon or mate.
Revision: 1) downgrading xorg-server even further (to 1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2) did resolve the xorg crashing issue; i previously only downgraded to 1.20.4. I now have the most up-to-date evdi and displaylink installed and I run it on the (current) LTS kernel. 2) The reason why GDM started is because it doesn't use Xorg-server, but Wayland (I didn't know that yet...)

Does the pinned comment still hold?
Is Displaylink still not compatible with evdi-1.8?
evdi-git now is at v1.8.0.r7
If the constrain still hold, I guess we need really need the evdi-1.7 package...

Bug report for xorg-xserver above 1.20.8-3 submitted : https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/-/issues/1088

Depends on what your error messages say? The folks at xorg (=freedesktop) probably will be more helpful with debugging. You can also post a link here to he bugreport once you have created it.
