Just got a good deal on awsome t14s, installed manjaro and everything works as wanted…except the docking station.
Im using a hp docking (universal dock G2). its working perfectly in windows.
But in manjaro I dont know where to begin… all the other things in the dockingstation works fine
the usb hub, and the intergrated gigabit ethernet card…except for the displays…
I have tried xrandr --listproviders with the result 0.
please help me out 
In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:
Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro
Hope you manage!
Tip: To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:
```
pasted text
```
Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:
~~~
pasted text
~~~
This will just cause it to be rendered like this:
Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.
Instead of like this:
Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.
Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.
Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.
Additionally
If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:
LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl
This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.
Please edit your post accordingly.

You have to install proprietary display link drivers.
Google should help you. I don’t know the exact steps anymore, as I had the same issue 2 years ago.
After installing the drivers everything worked as expected.
I have looked into displaylink offical webpage, and the only linux installer they have is for ubuntu.
will it work for manjaro ?
or how do I find the proprietary drivers (except from the official displaylink webpage) ?
I have tried the yay -S displaylink.
thought it would work…but when I ran the systemctl status displaylinkservice i got:
systemctl status displaylink.service INT ✘ 21s
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service

Process: 3793 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
CPU: 5ms
so the evdi driver/module dont seems to be working for some reason…dunno if this is the right way to go either.
I don’t know if this’ll help, but maybe it does:

The bolt package is in the AUR:
$ pamac search bolt
[...]
bolt 0.9.5-1 extra
Thunderbolt 3 device manager
So can be installed with:
pamac build bolt
But other than that, I’ve got absolutely positivly a negative amount of ideas.
no…
have installed boltctl…but it dont works. (or it maby works but dont help the case).
When I run it it just exits. I have tried using the --help option it shows commands but dont work.
I have absolutely no idea, except I get the feeling you are expecting a GUI interface and that is CLI. Because, this:
…is expected, and I don’t think it has a window, so it looks like:
All I can do is point you here:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Lenovo_ThinkPad_T14s_(AMD)_Gen_1
No I dont get an output in the terminal (after I run the program) see the print.
https://paste.pics/23893b02d34cbfe937d42a9cef9c816a
same as boltctl,
yes I have read the links…but it seems like the displaylink.service is needed. and I get a error when trying to run it:
systemctl status displaylink.service ✔

its very little information about arch/manjaro and displaylink out there…
Let’s see if we can find more info. Please provide the output of
journalctl --unit=displaylink.service --no-pager
yes alot of the same errors seems like the evdi module is missing:

Ah, it looks like now we’re getting somewhere. If that is, indeed, the cause, the evdi module in in the AUR:
$ pamac search evdi
[...]
evdi-compat-git 1.14.03-1 AUR
kernel module for DisplayLink driver, aimed at compatibility with DisplayLink package and Official kernels
[...]
So try and install it with:
pamac build evdi-compat-git
Reboot and see what happens.
If the OP does that; in the comments of this package:
The current version of this package (1.14.03.r0.g19476e7-1) does not work for me with up to date displaylink (5.7-1) and up to date arch kernel (6.3.8-arch1-1) using wayland.
and the pkg maintainer answers:
I use x btw, for me wayland doesn’t show in gdm from a long time. and I am too lazy to get wayland to work.
pamac search evdi 1 ✘
evdi 1.14.1-0 [Installed]
A Linux® kernel module that enables management of multiple screens.
That’s why I said:
From the Arch wiki:
If you encounter issues, there are some upstream patches applied to evdi-compat-gitAUR as an alternative.
However, @6x12, may be right since AFAIK Gnome uses Wayland…so I guess if you want to continue using it, you’d have to switch to X…
yes thank you its working now !
works fine with kernel 6.1.44-1
Edit:
everything works perfect !
again thanks.
