====xorg configuration==== | |||
After some experimentation at work getting our Dell D6000 docks to work i had to create an xorg configuration file as follows | |||
<syntaxhighlight lang="nix">environment.etc."X11/xorg.conf.d/20-evdi.conf" = { | |||
enable = true; | |||
text = '' | |||
Section "OutputClass" | |||
Identifier "DisplayLink" | |||
MatchDriver "evdi" | |||
Driver "modesetting" | |||
Option "AccelMethod" "none" | |||
EndSection | |||
''; | |||
};</syntaxhighlight> | |||
Taken from arch wiki (https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/DisplayLink#Configuring_X_Server) | |||
Note that modesetting is the modern Intel iGPU driver, read further into the Arch wiki if you're experiencing issues. | |||
evdi is automatically pulled in as a dependency from the displaylink package, you might need to add it to boot.kernelModules. | |||
