hello everybody,

As say in title I try to have a third screen with a displayLink device (USB
to VGA form Konig) in order to have an extended desktop on three screens
I follow those steps
http://blogg.noonday.se/2010/01/28/linux-usb-video-adapter/
udlfb & xf86-video-displaylink are correctly installed (I used this patch to
get the last working
http://git.plugable.com/gitphp/index.php?p=xf-video-udlfb&a=blobdiff&h=11f2e6b9f9790d0c362a196d19419f202a40a512&hp=212e11fb358b413628acca6ffb61041b7a166d1e&hb=ace449b4d1f51e3ac94636a82ad56f80e6870ba4&f=src/displaylink.c
).
I had no /etc/X11/xorg.conf so I generated one with Xorg - confgure which is
