<div>Hi,</div> <div> </div> <div>Stupid mistake on my part. Thanks Alexander.</div> <div> </div> <div>I did ls -l /dev/fb* before and after connecting the displaylink device I figured out that /dev/fb1 is for the displaylink monitor and /dev/fb0 is for the default monitor. </div> <div> </div> <div>I made these changes and played around a little with the xorg.conf till I was able to restart X. Also, I interchanged the Screens 0 and 1. </div> <div> </div> <div>However, after these changes the dual screen display came up, albiet not properly. I can move the mouse from one screen to the other. But the default screen attempts to start the file manager' and plenty of windows just keep opening up saying 'Starting File Manager'. Also, in the Xorg log file there are continuous error messages saying "EE FBDEV(1): FBIOPUTCMAP: Inavlid argument". To solve this issue, I temporarily removed /usr/bin/nautilus. </div> <div> </div> <div>Further, currently I have kept the Xinerama option off. If I turn it on, X server crashes.</div> <div> </div> <div>Hoping for further suggestions on these issues. </div> <div> </div> <div>Thank You,</div> <div>Akshay Sathe. </div> <div> </div> <div>Wed, Mar 10, 2010 at 6:14 PM, Alexander Todorov <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:atodorov@otb.bg" target="_blank">atodorov@otb.bg</a>></span> wrote:<br></div> <div class="gmail_quote"> <blockquote style="BORDER-LEFT: #ccc 1px solid; MARGIN: 0px 0px 0px 0.8ex; PADDING-LEFT: 1ex" class="gmail_quote"> <div>Akshay Sathe wrote:<br><br>> Section "Device"<br>><br>>> Driver "nouveau" #I have Nvidia Geforce Graphics card.<br>><br>>> Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1"<br> ><br>>> BusID "PCI:1:0:0"<br>><br>>> EndSection<br>><br>><br><br></div>Hi Akshay,<br>here you have /dev/fb1 for you primary NVidia card and you said that you<br>configure DisplayLink for /dev/fb1 (the same device) as well. Those two are in<br> conflict.<br><br>Do `ls /dev/fb*' and see if there are other frame buffer devices. If you'r<br>primary graphics works with the configuration above (i.e. you're sure that<br>nouveau is /dev/fb1 then the other device is for DisplayLink. Try that and post<br> your findings.<br><br>--<br><font color="#888888">Alexander.<br></font></blockquote></div><br>
