This shouldn't be needed because adding modesetting to videoDrivers already does it Undo revision 6965 by Lillecarl (talk)

====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>

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.
