Upgrading to xorg-server-1.19.2-1 stopped my display link monitor from working. Downgrading to xorg-server-1.19.1-5 fixed the error. Monitor still appeared but couldnt place any window on it, it appeared to be frozen. Not too sure if its a bug issue with displaylink or xorg

@fethio: I've never used xf86-video-intel on my laptop, have always been using modesetting, as suggest in https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Intel_graphics#Installation
I did try installing xf86-video-intel as you mentioned and I did get a working displaylink. But now I am a bit confusing, as whether what driver to use now.

@truongan:: I didn't notice that evdi 1.2.64-1->1.2.64-3 (I was trying with the 1.3 version to compile against kernel 4.9.X)
I am using the latest stable arch kernel, xorg-server 1.19. After switching to evdi 1.2.64-3, I had to reinstall xf86-video-intel, which changed my laptop monitor from modesetting to Intel.
I have a working displaylink !!! :) thanks for the help...

@truongan: I had to remove a number of packages during xorg-server downgrade (1.19->1.18). removed packages: xf86-input-[evdev,keyboard,mouse,vmmouse,void], and xf86-video-[dummy,fbdev,intel,vesa,vmware]
Displaylink still does not work. while I get the following lines in the dmesg when the usb monitor is plugged in:

@fethio: You will have to download xorg-server and xf86-input-libinput because their PKGBUILD depend on each other. Just those 2 packages are enough. You can even keep xorg-server-common at newer version.

@truongan: Regarding the downgrade operation:: did you only need to downgrade the xorg-server package, or were there additional packages that should be downgraded along with this?
truongan commented on 2017-01-27 13:05 (UTC)
@fethio: I have the same problem, a completely black screen. And I can confirm that downgrade to xorg-server 1.18 work for me. I don't remember exactly what version of Xorg cause this problem so I downgrade to the furthest working version I can remember. Perhaps someone can confirm it with a newer version.

Hi @PlusMinus, thanks for the reply. I've written a summary of this issue in the following forum post:
https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1686259#p1686259
@PlusMinus, Are you using xorg-server 1.19? This was upgraded in my last pacman -Syu

@fethio I'm using mesa 13 with Displaylink 1.2.65 and evdi 1.2.64 without any problems, and when I had Problems with displaylink, the monitor wouldn't even show the mouse, so I can imagine that the problem lies somewhere else.
