DisplayLink monitor (evdi) not recognized as output in Hyprland (Wayland)

[cipher-shad0w]

Environment

• Hyprland version: 0.50.1 (commit 4e242d0, built Sat Jul 19 2025)
• Kernel version: 6.15.7-arch1-1
• DisplayLink driver version: 6.1.1 (installed via AUR)
• evdi module version: 1.14.10 (DKMS)
• Arch Linux (rolling release, fully updated)
• Running Wayland with Hyprland

Problem

I successfully installed the DisplayLink driver and evdi module on Arch Linux, the displaylink.service is running without errors, and lsmod shows evdi loaded.

lsusb confirms the DisplayLink device is connected, but the external monitor is not detected as an output device in Hyprland.

Using wlr-randr only shows the internal laptop display (eDP-1). No external DisplayLink output is present.

Attempts to use wlr-randr --set-provider-output-source fail because the command doesn't recognize that option.

journalctl -u displaylink.service shows no obvious errors.

Logs & Outputs

• lsmod | grep evdi shows evdi loaded.
• lsusb | grep -i displaylink shows the device connected.
• wlr-randr output only shows internal display.
• journalctl for displaylink.service shows active service with no errors.

Additional information

• Running Hyprland on Wayland, not X11.
• Using kernel modesetting and evdi module, but monitor not recognized.
• dmesg restricted due to permissions.

Request

Is there any known compatibility issue or workaround to get DisplayLink external monitors detected and working under Hyprland Wayland compositor?
