<pre>Thanks for your script!<br><br>I have a displaylink device from plugable, and when I tried to run this script on my<br>xubuntu 11.04 laptop I ended up with the error messages<br><br> (EE) Failed to load module "displaylink" (module does not exist, 0)<br>
(EE) Failed to load module "void" (module does not exist, 0)<br> (EE) No drivers available.<br><br>(I've sent along the complete Xorg.1.log for reference). How should I modifiy xorg.conf.DL<br>file to load these two files/modules? I also notice that your .xinitrc2 ends with<br>
<br> exec /usr/bin/awesome<br><br>Since I use xfce I changed that to <br><br> exec /usr/bin/xfce4-session<br><br>Is that correct, and if not, what should it be?<br><br>I have installed the libdlo library a la<br><br> <a href="http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/">http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/</a><br>
<br>I made an accidential discover today: after xubuntu boots up at the log in screen (but before<br>I log in), I pluggd the external monitor to the VGA port; immediately I got an extended<br>desktop. And after I logged in, I was able to drag windows between the LCD screen and the<br>
external monitor, so at least the libdlo library works! But when I plugged in the displaylink<br>device and then the monitor, I got back the familiar green screen :-(<br><br>Any advice and comments are most welcome.<br><br>
