DisplayLink with Dell Dock Station problem

Hello!

I want to connect 2 monitors via Dell Universal Dock UD22 and use them with laptop screen. I followed DisplayLink arch wiki instruction, and

  1. Installed evdi-git with yaourt -S evdi-git
  2. Installed displaylink with yaourt -S displaylink
  3. Enabled displaylink.service with systemctl status displaylink
  4. Create file /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/20-evdi.conf with following content:
Section "OutputClass"
	Identifier "DisplayLink"
	MatchDriver "evdi"
	Driver "modesetting"
	Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection

After reboot only one of the monitor connected to dock works. Pls send help.

Usefull info:

systemctl status displaylink

FYI I fixed it by installing evdi-compat-git instead of evdi-git. Thread can be closed.
