I also managed to install displaylink from AUR, but when I try to run it with sudo systemctl start displaylink.service I get :
Job for displaylink.service failed because the control process exited with error code.
See "systemctl status displaylink.service" and "journalctl -xe" for details.
systemctl status displaylink.service` gives me:
displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)

Process: 2520 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
While journalctl -xe gives me:
The job identifier is 3357 and the job result is done.

I can’t help you, but why u use displaylink.service? On my system i have on USB-C Thunderbold a portexpander attached with included DP port connected to a DP Monitor. I don’t need displaylink.service to get it fully working. In the past i used a USB-C to HDMI connecter to my DP Monitor, instead of this portexpander, and again this was working without problems and displaylink.service installed.
