Lapdock DisplayLink external Display

Hi,
I try to install and activate the DisplayLink in my Lapdock, to activate my external Monitor.
I have installed:
pamac build evdi-compat-git
pamac install displaylink

It worked 1 time, until reboot.
I tried to narrow down the issue, but I failed to do so.
Who could guide me to solve the issue?

I have now a working setup.
The solution, that worked for me was:
Reinstalling evdi 1.14.7-1
it did not work the very 1st time, because of the missing linux-header files.
(Linux66-headers)
