I recently switched from Ubuntu to Manjaro on my 2020 Razer Blade Stealth 13". I have an Anker USB-C to HDMI Adapter (Model A8312) that I had previously been using on Ubuntu with no issues. However, when I use it on Manjaro it does not work.
I followed the Arch wiki instructions for setting up DisplayLink, but no luck.I tried all 3 evdi packages that are listed in step 1.2 of the wiki. I do get an error at step 1.3
Output from running xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x40 cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 1 outputs: 1 associated providers: 0 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x1d9 cap: 0x0 crtcs: 0 outputs: 0 associated providers: 0 name:NVIDIA-G0
Based on that output, I ran xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 0 1 to connect provider 0 (modesetting) to provider 1 (Nvidia GC). However, that results in this error:
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 35 (RRSetProviderOutputSource)
Value in failed request: 0x1d9
Serial number of failed request: 16
Current serial number in output stream: 17
I did try loading the udl kernel module via modprobe udl as suggested in the wiki, but nothing changed.
Also, at no point do I see a second display in the display settings, or another frame buffer in /dev/ other than /dev/fb0 which I assume is the frame buffer for my laptop screen.
I can see that the USB device is recognized (result of dmesg when plugging/unplugging adapter) :

Some other info that may be helpful: This laptop has integrated intel graphics as well as an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 Ti Mobile. I installed video-hybrid-intel-nvidia-470xx-prime using mhwd and after several attempts to get the laptop to boot I ended up needing to add nomodeset to the kernel parameters. I am using Gnome.
I suspect it has something to do with my graphics drivers but I’m not sure what. I’d appreciate any help I can get here, I’d really like to continue using Manjaro but if I can’t connect to a second monitor I’ll probably need to go back to Ubuntu. Also, apologies if I didn’t make anything clear or missed some information. I used Arch extensively about 5 years ago, but have just been using Ubuntu or Windows since so I’m pretty rusty
