Hi,

I have this HP USB-C Dock but I don’t get the display ports working. The external display is not recognized by my Arch Notebook.

Do I need special drivers to use such docking stations?

(USB and Ethernet ports are working fine)

    What you describe here makes totally sense, since every time I plug a windows device to this docking station a pop up is telling me, that display link drivers are going to be installed…

    Maybe I should dig into this display link topic.

    Thanks!

      Displaylink works on arch. Just install evdi and displaylink from the aur. Enable the service and also use the linux-lts kernel. EVDI is unfortunately an out of tree kernel module and lags behind the usually very recent official arch kernel.

        not forgetting linux-header and dkms ;)

        Works directly after rebooting the Notebook.

        Thanks!
