@kaipee2 - Thanks for spelling that out for me.

I also had to downgrade from xf86-video-fbdev 0.4.4+13+g9af7f81-1 to xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4+12+ge0bce0d-1 as the former conflicts with xorg-server<1.20.

Just a note that this is still broken with xorg-server 1.20. Downgrading all packages works:

pacman -U xorg-server-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+823+gd9bf46e4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-common-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-xwayland-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-vesa-2.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz

If you have a problem starting DisplayLink service (modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/xxx ). You need to have linux-headers package installed so that evdi module can be installed.

@K5HV Perfect xorg-server downgrade !

Thanks should go to @K5HV for the downgrade workaround :-)

@Durburz I can also confirm that this solution does not work.

@jnvandermeer I had forgotten that I had switched to a different branch than in AUR for evdi about a year ago, I switched back to the latest AUR release (evdi-pre-release 1.5.0-4) and all is working! I miss bleeding edge, but DisplayLink, regrettably, is a must now. Thanks for your workaround, and thanks @PlusMinus for the continued support!

@Durburz: It's not working for me (in terms of using xorg 1.20 with displaylink)

I just found this article with a workaround ( I haven't tested it yet): https://support.displaylink.com/knowledgebase/articles/1181623-displaylink-ubuntu-driver-after-recent-x-upgrades

jnvandermeer commented on 2018-05-22 04:23 (UTC)

I got the evdi-pre-release version 1.5.0-4 (latest)

xorg-server (as suggested by K5HV): 1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2 xf86-video-intel: 1:2.99.917+823+gd9bf46e4-1 .. and.. kernel 4.14.41-1-lts (i.e. the latest) Did it work in the past for you?

Hopefully the good people of Displaylink will update their driver(s) to work with xorg-server 1.20, too (http://www.displaylink.com/downloads/ubuntu).
