Thanks for the reply. I tried that, but the result is still the same.
If I have Default screen first, then only the laptop monitor is on, and if  
I have the displaylink first, then only the displaylink screen is on.

My modified xorg.conf is:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

############ Original Video Settings ###########

Section "Device"
  Identifier "Configured Video Device"
  Driver "intel"
EndSection

Section "Monitor"
  Identifier "Configured Monitor"
EndSection

Section "Screen"
  Identifier "Default Screen"
  Monitor "Configured Monitor"
  Device "Configured Video Device"
  SubSection "Display"
  Depth 24
  Modes "1440x900"
  EndSubSection
EndSection

  Option "ReportDamage" "true"
  Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"

  EndSubSection
EndSection
