[Libdlo] Can't startup displaylink device correctly under ubuntu 9.10

[Bernie Thompson]

Thanks Kal.  Also, try removing the explicit display subsection in
your xorg.conf

        SubSection "Display"
                Depth   24
                Modes   "1400x1050"
        EndSubSection

And let the drivers find the best mode and color depth (right now
it'll always be 16bpp on DL).  Someone else earlier had the problem
that specifying Depth 24 was keeping it from working.

Best wishes,
Bernie
