I have tested this new version with my Samsung LD190G, but it still doesn't work properly.<br><br>I tested the monitor on my laptop with Ubuntu 9.04. I can start X server on both screens (internal and samsung), but samsung monitor doesn't display anything. I can start "xterm" on both screens using ssh access tough, like; <br>
<br>"xterm -display :0.0; xterm -display :0.1" works.<br><br>If I start my laptop with Samsung monitor plugged, then nothing shows up on any monitors in the end. I started X server manually after I booted up the laptop without Samsung monitor in recovery mode.<br>

Hi all,<br>
<br>
on <a href="http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/displaylink-mod-0.3.tar.gz" target="_blank">http://projects.unbit.it/downloads/displaylink-mod-0.3.tar.gz</a><br>
<br>
you can download the first 'alpha' release of a totally refactored<br>
kernel module.<br>
<br>
This new branch includes dynamic mode settings and a prototype of a<br>
rock-solid framebuffer that can survives detach (and re-attach ?) of<br>
devices.<br>
<br>
The code has been split in different files, and some new ioctls has been<br>
added to support a new xorg driver (still working on it) with full<br>
xrandr support, included the merging of (virtually unlimited)<br>
displaylink devices in a unique (big) framebuffer.<br>
<br>
I will not work anymore on the udlfb driver, but i will release a<br>
'stable' release of displaylink-mod as soon as i have solved all of the<br>
hotplug stuff.<br>
<br>
*** Some notes for tester ***<br>
<br>
- the driver allocates all the framebuffer space (1900*1200*2) so its<br>
unsuitable for embedded devices, i will add a module param to limit the<br>
amount of allocated memory (and so the resolution)<br>
<br>
- you can change resolution of fbcon using the fbset utility, the module<br>
setups the resolution always on the best supported mode.<br>
<br>
- when you detach a devices that is still in use, the framebuffer is not<br>
deallocated until the last process using it is killed. (but there is<br>
probably a race condition that lock the fbcon)<br>
<br>
- error handling (most of all on probing code) is horrible, so expect<br>
some oops in case of some allocation failure.<br>
<br>
<br>
As always, thanks to Unbit and Marvell for supporting my work.<br>
