xorg-server 1.20+
When is the displaylink driver going to work with xorg-server 1.20? Until it does, users (at least on Arch) are stuck on 1.19.

Are you having any strange issues with xrog-server >1.20 ? I just updated Arch yesterday and everytime I plug in my USB Dell dock, it kills the session and returns back to the GDM login - where I can enter my password and it will immediately log out

I get very, very tired of my displaylink display breaking every few months. I've about had it. |

Yeah, I've just downgraded all the xorg packages and got a fully working system again. It's not great practice but I've held back the xorg packages in pacman to prevent upgrades

So apparently I need to downgrade to the following:
xorg-server-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+823+gd9bf46e4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-common-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-xwayland-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-vesa-2.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Now to figure out how to use the Arch Linux Archive ( you can tell I'm an Antergos rather than a vanilla Arch user ;-) ) |

I have the packages on my system, if you trust them to install I can upload them somewhere. Not sure if the MD5 checksum is available anywhere for you to confirm. I have also blacklisted the packages in pacman.conf Code:
IgnorePkg = xorg-server xf86-video-intel xf86-video-vesa xorg-server-common xorg-server-xwayland # Hold back xorg for diaplylink compatibility |

**edit** - thanks for the offer. Managed to get everything from the ALA
Had to downgrade to all of the following in order to resolve conflicts: xorg-server-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+823+gd9bf46e4-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-common-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xorg-server-xwayland-1.19.6+13+gd0d1a694f-2-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-vesa-2.4.0-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz xf86-video-fbdev-0.4.4+12+ge0bce0d-1-x86_64.pkg.tar.xz Then I had to boot the old lts kernel. Gah. Works now -- of course I neglected to ignore the packages in pacman.conf. And then pamac failed to ignore the packages I deselected, and the dang packages got re-upgraded. I just downloaded the packages from the Arch Linux Archive and dropped them in /var/cache/pacman/pkg, and then pacman -U. Couldn't figure out why xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+... couldn't be downgraded. Turns out the file was incorrectly named in the ALA -- was xf86-video-intel-1_2.99.917+ instead of xf86-video-intel-1:2.99.917+ . Last edited by cacarr; 06-06-2018 at 09:31 AM. |
