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'm on xorg-server 1.20.0-5 -- precisely the same thing happens to me. Also happened on the previous 1.20 version.

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

I'm afraid I cleared the cache ... hmm ... downgrading will be a bit of a pain.

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 ;-) )
