I'm waiting for Ubuntu 12.10 having xserver- xorg-video- displaylink removed from distro. BTW: on Kubuntu12.04 nVidia Xserver writes its own nf making xrandr for "read only". Newer distributions are more difficult to handle, as thought to be "automatic" thanks to xrandr. That's why manual edit of nf or files in /etc/X11/ nf. Seems also that xrandr ignores existence of udflb devices. IMO source of problem is located in X sever, which is unable to handle screen coordinates split between different kernel drivers. Using hints from this topic I made one of diplaylink screens to get xlogin and xdesktop, though size was limited to 320x240. None of them was able to display more than green screen. Unfortunately I couldn't get Fedora 17 working as described in this article com/scan. Spent some time testing openSuse, Ubuntu, Kubuntu based on 12.04 release and openSuse 11.4. Add the following to /etc/gdm/Init/Default above the "exit 0" at the end of the file: Put the following into the file /usr/share/X11//nf (please have a look at the Notes below as well)ģ.

Sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-displaylinkĢ. If the desktop apepars and is usable, you should be able to now start gdm and have a login screen: Add the following to /etc/gdm/ Init/Default above the "exit 0" at the end of the file:Īt this point, you should see at least a mouse cursor that you can move around, and possibly the Unity 2D fallback interface, in case you're using Natty.Ħ. Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb0" # or /dev/fb1 depending on the results of dmesg | grep DisplayLinkģ. conf (please have a look at the Notes below as well) Put the following into the file /usr/share/ X11/xorg. Sudo apt-get install xserver- xorg-video- displaylinkĢ.

make sure the displaylink driver is installed

This a partial workaround works for a single display:ġ. If the monitor does not supply this, then (as in my case) everything you try will fail. Warning the DisplayLink driver is dependent on reading the EDID (Extended display identification data) from the Monitor.

The display link drivers are in the kernel and I loaded xserver- xorg-video- displaylinkĪs the idea behind Ubuntu is plug it in and it 'just works', this bug.
