Could you please set the maximum version of evdi<1.12.0
+1, as DisplayLink 5.6 is not working with evdi 1.12.
However, with evdi 1.11 currently not being available as package, this would make DisplayLink no longer installable.
An idea to solve this could be to create and maintain a package "evdi-displaylink", which always builds the latest version of evdi which works with the current displaylink package. Then displaylink shoul depend on that package.
Could you please set the maximum version of evdi<1.12.0
The driver is only compatible with a specific minor version of evdi.
Hi there,
I cannot connect to displays through my displaylink docking-station since the update to evdi 1.12
Kernel: 5.10.131
Did anyone else experience problems as well?
pkgver=5.6
_releasedate=2022-05
_pkgfullver=5.6.0-59.176
Add and rename the release notes.txt to your package folder displaylink-release-notes-5.6.txt
Recalculate the checksums with makepkg -g and fix PKGBUILD
@gipert, I'm using the combination displaylink (5.5) and evdi (1.10.1) together with wayland compositor. Here 2 Screens attachted to the HP USB-C/A Universal Dock G2.
Still some unspecific issues if I'm connect/disconnect usb-c while the laptop screen is not opened. But i can "reset" it, if I'm detach usb-c displaylink and screen open laptop screen. Then attach the dock again. But i have no FPS drops, correct DisplayFrequency and Resolution. Standby/Wakeup is no problem. So my personal problems fixed so far.
I played around with scaling factors, here is some trouble too. But it works if i got it finally setup. (In my case, i don't use scaling)
To be fair, even with windows i do have have trouble in some cases with the dock - so firmware/driver quality is not the best...
Did you update the firmware of the dock?
As @notresponding2u, I'm also struggling to make Sway aware of external displays. I tried both displaylink/evdi and displaylink-beta/evdi-git, no luck. With X11 works fine, though I cannot apply scaling factors – and that's why I need to make this work under Wayland. The problem seems to be in wlroots: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wlroots/wlroots/-/issues/1823, but looks like there's no timeline for fixing the issue.
@djallits, @Freakydude: which compositor are you using?
Can confirm @Freakydude comment. Version 5.5 thus far has been great with Wayland, and want to reiterate that evdi-git has fallen behind evdi in the AUR. You NEED to use the pinned version of EVDI.
Dear Maintainer or all who can't wait,
to help you, the correct variables for your PKGBUILD in case of the current build 5.5 are:
pkgname=displaylink
pkgver=5.5
_releasedate=2022-03
_pkgfullver=5.5.0-59.151
Add and rename the release notes.txt to your package folder displaylink-release-notes-5.5.txt
Recalculate the checksums with makepkg -g >> PKGBUILD
(And if you are not the maintainer, install it with makepkg -si. Use it together with normal evdi package (1.10). Works great with wayland)
Best regards
