DisplayLink & Dell d3100

Hi,

I want to use my Dell d3100 but I did not succeed.
I'm not a pro of archlinux.

Here it's what I did:

$ yaourt -S displaylink
$ sudo modprobe udl
$ reboot
$ xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x49 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 4 outputs: 6 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

(displaylink aur package)

I only have 1 provider (my computer)

And I saw this:

$ sudo systemctl status displaylink.service
● displaylink.service - DisplayLink Manager Service
   Loaded: loaded (/usr/lib/systemd/system/displaylink.service; disabled; vendor preset: disabled)
   Active: activating (auto-restart) (Result: exit-code) since Wed 2017-09-06 15:32:26 CEST; 2s ago
  Process: 15017 ExecStartPre=/sbin/modprobe evdi (code=exited, status=1/FAILURE)
      CPU: 1ms

Sep 06 15:32:26 devbox systemd[1]: displaylink.service: Unit entered failed state.
Sep 06 15:32:26 devbox systemd[1]: displaylink.service: Failed with result 'exit-code'.

Any ideas on how to fix this?

Re: DisplayLink & Dell d3100

Try replacing evdi with evdi-git from the AUR.  I had the same failure message for the service, but that did it for me. Didn't even need to reboot.
