Anyone knows how it works on kernel linux-5.1.6 with Intel card? I'm a bit stuck on 4.20.13-arch1-1-ARCH, I want to update but at this moment I don't have enough HDD to backup everything.
PS: I know, I must update more frequently to avoid the kernel jumping.

My laptop is Dell Inspiron 15 5000 (5547), with video card (AMD Radeon R7 M265 2 GB DDR3)
In my MANJARO when searching the terminal on the packages "*mesa" it returns me the following listing
$ yay -Ss mesa | grep Installed

@vS0uz4 if you use a radeon you are most likely using mesa.
@PlusMinus
What do I do if I use MESA? How do I verify what is being used?
@vS0uz4 Older kernels should work alright. If you use mesa, pin it and update manually if you use something else I can't tell. Personally i switched from my Displaylink dock to a thunderbolt dock and I don't regret it a bit. Really, it depends on your use case, but IMHO the two viable options are: Get a travel adapter or get a thundebolt dock. Most displalink docks cover the middle ground and the d3100 I had did it poorly, mainly because of this driver.
@Quartie
I am intending to buy a Dock Station for use with DisplayLink, I also use Manjaro Linux (see 18.0.4 - Illyria) a distribution based on Arch Linux, my kernel version is (4.14.118-1-MANJARO) will I have compatibility issues?
Working with: archlinux 5.1.4, evdi-1.6.1 and displaylink 5.1.26-1
Works for me using these package versions:
displaylink 5.1.26-1 evdi 1.6.0-1 linux 5.0.2.arch1-1
I confirm it is not working for kernel 5.0.1
@PlusMinus USB, Ethernet & Sound work on Kernel 5.
All video non-functional as EVDI dependancy is broken. Cannot update to evdi-git or evdi-pre-release as it fails to build.
Journal error: modprobe[]: modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.0.0-arch1-1-ARCH
Rebooting changes nothing.
