Procedure followed
1-Downloaded the kde dragonized version though the installer,verified the checksum and created the bootable driver with rufus.
2-Gone into the bios disabled the secure boot and set my SATA controller to AHCI.
3-Installed Garuda with the default option and allowed the nvidia driver (i’m not trying to dual boot there is only garuda os on my pc).
4-Installed pamac and used to install displaylink and evdi.
5-Gone into /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d and created the 20-evdi.conf file where i copy and pasted from the arch wikia displaylink article
Section "OutputClass"
Identifier "DisplayLink"
MatchDriver "evdi"
Driver "modesetting"
Option "AccelMethod" "none"
EndSection
and rebooted the system.
6- Then
xrandr --listproviders
return me
Providers: number : 2
Provider 0: id: 0x42 cap: 0xf, Source Output, Sink Output, Source Offload, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:modesetting
Provider 1: id: 0x26b cap: 0x2, Sink Output crtcs: 4 outputs: 1 associated providers: 1 name:NVIDIA-G0
after this i tried following the guide
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 1 0
but my monitor is still black.
Also tried
xrandr --setprovideroutputsource 0 1
that return me
X Error of failed request: BadValue (integer parameter out of range for operation)
Major opcode of failed request: 140 (RANDR)
Minor opcode of failed request: 35 (RRSetProviderOutputSource)
Value in failed request: 0x26b
Serial number of failed request: 16
Current serial number in output stream: 17
My monitor is working because when i plug it into the usb port it turn on and show me the asus logo and when i ran
