I have one question. Are you currently using the original displaylink.c ? or did you apply the patch?<br><br>what happens if you run following two commands when you start to screen? (I assume you started X on DISPLAY :0)<br>
<br>xterm -display :0.0 <br>xterm -display :0.1<br><br>Can you see xterm window on both screens? <br><br>JAK<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Thu, Jun 25, 2009 at 4:54 PM, Mulchman <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:mulchman@gmail.com">mulchman@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

</div>So I set up Ubuntu 8.10 (32 bit) on an old laptop and I'm able to boot<br>
and get Gnome on both displays using an xorg.conf file whose<br>
"ServerLayout" block is just something like this:<br>
<br>
Section "ServerLayout"<br>
Screen "Default Screen"<br>
Screen "DisplayLink Screen"<br>
EndSection<br>
<br>
I can move the mouse around on the main laptop screen (ie. "Default<br>
Screen" from the "ServerLayout" section) but I can't figure out how to<br>
'get' to the DisplayLink screen (ie. "DisplayLink Screen" from the<br>
"ServerLayout") to interact on it? The screens don't seem connected like<br>
in a dual monitor setup and bringing up "System" > "Preferences" ><br>
"Screen Resolution" from within Gnome only shows the main laptop screen.<br>
<br>
After this I tried to turn on Xinerama (as it and TwinView are the only<br>
ways I've done dual screen on Ubuntu in the past) but this just results<br>
in the crashes I was seeing on my other Ubuntu 64 bit machine.<br>
<br>
Is there some way to do dual screen without Xinerama? Or, and this shows<br>
my lack of knowledge, how do I 'get' to the other non-laptop screen with<br>
the above mentioned "ServerLayout"? It's almost like what's visible on<br>
the DisplayLink screen is an entirely separate X server.<br>
