Anyone who has/is successfully using Display link with evdi for external monitor on his arch linux? I’ve been struggling to make it work. I was on lts kernel before and learnt evdi is working best with latest arch kernel 5.16, so i switched to latest kernel. Even then it fails to work. I do see external monitors with display link when i use dmesg. But i never get the external monitor activate. If it helps, I’m using Hp USB C docking station. I could share more info if needed. I have been following arch wiki for display link. I have tried mode setting and other trouble shooting tips/workarounds in wiki. None of it worked yet.

Hardware used: System76 Lemur Pro 10

Any help or guidance is appreciated. #evdi #displaylink #arch

Using displaylink-beta package fixed the issue

For those where displaylink-beta does not fix the issue, first try a driver service restart to detect DP-connected displays.

systemctl restart displaylink-driver.service

HDMI-connected displays may need an unplug and replug after that. DP- connections should be detected without issues.

If it does not work:

  • remove evdi
  • reboot
  • reinstall displaylink
  • reboot.

Solution tested on Ubuntu 24.04.
