I did a reset ( fresh install and used the original evdi as directed )
the sudo modprobe presents
modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.13.19-2-MANJARO
OK… that at least gets us somewhere.
5.13 is EOL now anyways … so lets drop you down to 5.10 LTS
(sort your mirrors and update first;)
sudo pacman-mirrors -g && sudo pacman -Syyu
sudo mhwd-kernel -i linux510
###reboot..
systemctl reboot
You should be able to select the new kernel at boot … if you do not see grub menu please tap Shift or Esc
Oh. Also … since you mentioned evdi, and no automatic connection, I assumed it may be USB3 … can you please verify if it is usb2 or usb3 ?
now when i sudo modprobe i get
modprobe: FATAL: Module evdi not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.70-1-MANJARO
yes it is usb 3
still only one provider listed with
xrandr --listproviders
OK… lets make sure of some things again:
You should have the headers and git and base-devel …
sudo pacman -Syu linux510-headers base-devel git
(let me know if any of those were not installed)
Then lets rebuild those AUR packages
pamac build displaylink evdi
(I am also assuming we still have our config file created earlier)
Then lets restart again
yes the config file is still there did everything listed
I now see two providers
ran ```
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
and rebooted screen still blank and doesnt show in monitor manager
But wait we got somewhere … please show the output of the listproviders command
And since we are here, also please
lsmod | grep udl
PS
Sorry this is taking a little work - I cant remember the last time I troubleshot displaylink, if ever
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x1b8 cap: 0x1, Source Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 4 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-0
Provider 1: id: 0x215 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
lsmod | grep udl gives no output
Hm.
Sorry to ask for one more thing.
I should have asked earlier (maybe append the output to your first post for other eyes)
inxi -Fazy
cant post that output thinks its a link…
Even if you mark it code?
yes unless im doing it wrong… not sure how else to get it on here
Hmm.
inxi -Fazy | curl -F 'file=@-' https://0x0.st
will send it to a host and print a short link.
Even if you cant post that link, just break it up somehow like this “manjaroDOTorg” or “manjaro . org” … or similar.
https ://0x0.st/-dCw.txt
I am at a bit of a loss.
I suppose you could try some of the other things mentioned in the Archwiki above.
ooof , Ive looked at the arch wiki its greek to me would rather not have to go back to windows but i need the extra display…
Dont despair. I admittedly was just taking a stab. Hopefully someone else drops by.
For just checking …
sudo modprobe udl
And what does the service report now?
systemctl status displaylink
all good just a bit frustrated with it not you

I’m using original evdi, the service is running but the screen is still blank, I’ve tried on both 5.15 & 5.10 kernel. I’m using USB 3
