Hi all,

Just fiddling with a displaylink usb adapter, and knoppix 7.2 detects it fine, and comes up with a green display on the monitor (which is good). However, I can't seem to get it to work as an extra monitor under xorg. If I specify it all by itself in an xorg.conf file, I can get xorg to come up on that monitor. Trying to add it as another screen with any other video card in xorg.conf seems to ignore it completely.

Code:
Section "Monitor"
    Identifier   "DisplayLinkMonitor"
EndSection

Section "Device"
    Identifier "DisplayLinkDevice"
    Driver        "fbdev"
    BusID         "USB"
    Option        "fbdev" "/dev/fb2"
EndSection


Section "Screen"
      Identifier "Screen0"
    Device "DisplayLinkDevice"
    Monitor "DisplayLinkMonitor"
    DefaultDepth 16
EndSection
Oh well, I guess I'll have to be content with playing videos on it with mplayer like so:

Code:
mplayer somefile.mp4  -vo fbdev:/dev/fb2 
mplayer somefile.mp4  -vo fbdev:/dev/fb2 -zoom -x 1024 -y 768
mplayer somefile.mp4  -vo fbdev2:/dev/fb2
