[Libdlo] Using a displaylink device as an extended monitor in openSUSE 11.3

Hi,

I have installed openSUSE 11.3, and I have DoubleSight DS-90U USB monitor.  
(1024x600 resolution)
Depending on my xorg.conf setup, I can use the usb monitor, but I cannot  
use both my laptop and usb monitor at the same time.

I have attached my xorg.conf on the bottom. When I boot like this, I can  
only use the usb monitor. The laptop monitor is just blank.
If I change the order of the two displays in the Server Layout, then I  
cannot use the usb monitor.

Any help will be much appreciated.

Here is my xorg.conf:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)
