[Libdlo] DisplayLink on Fedora 12

[Akshay Sathe]

Hi,

Stupid mistake on my part. Thanks Alexander.

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.

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.

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.

Further, currently I have kept the Xinerama option off. If I turn it on, X
server crashes.

Hoping for further suggestions on these issues.

Thank You,
Akshay Sathe.
