[Libdlo] How do I get xorg to recognize the Displaylink device...?

[Bernie Thompson]

Hi Sammy,

I assume you've already seen this, but the multiseat setup I use on my
machines here switches from xorg default (accelerated Intel) to
DisplayLink at GDM start time, based on whether a USB display/terminal
is present:

Now, this stuff won't work on Ubuntu 9.10 unless you downgrade GDM
version (but that can be done:
