@xamindar I just checked with 5.8.5-arch1-1 (but connected to USB2 port, see below). No problems either.
I am using the official and most recent core/linux-lts kernel because the USB3 support for my chipset in 5.8.5 is currently broken in 5.8.5 (https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=208911)
If you keep getting crashes with displaylink/evdi/xorg-1.20.9 please file bugs upstream.
@bnavigator you are using a very old kernel (by Arch standards), so it working for you does not apply to the issue we are all having.
xorg-server-1.20.9-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst didn't work for me. Downgraded to xorg-server-1.20.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst and it's mostly working. Doesn't seem to matter which window manager I use. Package versions and abbreviated hardware lists below. Everything was working fine before the upgrade.
Please let me know if I can help.

Could you state kernel version and graphics card/drivers?
Displaylink with xorg-server 1.20.9 works fine here with kernel 5.4.61-1-lts on Intel HD Graphics 4000 (xf86-video-intel)
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.
Same here. works fine in combination with xorg version 1.20.8 but with 1.20.9 everything just crashes.
@homelessuser thx. I downgranding. Now is work!
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
Cannot confirm. Works fine here with 1.20.9-1.
Busted 27/8/2020 by one of these [segmentation fault]
