Displaylink breaks with current Xorg update to 1.20.9

Downgrade all relevant xorg packages from cache (if possible):

for pkg in $(find /var/cache/pacman/pkg/ -type f -iname "xorg*1.20.8-3*"); do sudo pacman -U $pkg; done

No worries,

remove 99-displaylink.rules

sudo tee /etc/udev/rules.d/99-displaylink.rules <<< ''

disable displaylink.service

sudo systemctl disable displaylink.service

reboot

reboot

Add to your display manager autostart, e.g. xfce4-session-settings

sudo systemctl start displaylink

Or if you don't want to edit files, uninstall and reinstall it.

@homelessuser: Please use a forum thread but stop spamming the package comment section with such nonsensical advice. Nobody needs to remove and install the displaylink package every time they boot their system. Maybe you mean to start the displaylink service after the X start.

Keep on investigating and when you have found the root cause of the crash, file a bug with the offending upstream package.

BTW, still working fine here with kernel 5.8.6, xorg-server 1.20.9, evdi 1.7.0

Hey guys, I've found an easier but annoying way to run DisplayLink on the latest xorg-server.

You just need to remove displaylink (and reboot) before your start x.

# add this to shutdown
sudo pacman -R displaylink

# then when you have your desktop up and running
yay displaylink

You don't need to reboot now because evdi is installed

Just unplug your displaylink screen, plug it back in and turn it on in arandr or xfce4-display-settings or whatever you're using.

Also make sure you're on 

evdi-git 1.7.0.r6.g9b124a6-1

I'm running evdi-git 1.7.0 and xorg-server 1.20.9-2 with 2 displaylink screens and an hdmi screen, plus laptop screen.

I just can confirm the segmentation fault after upgrading to xorg-server-1.20.9 and that downgrading it via

sudo pacman -U /var/cache/pacman/pkg/xorg-server-1.20.8-3-x86_64.pkg.tar.zst

helps.

@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.

xamindar commented on 2020-09-01 14:05 (UTC)

@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)
