[Libdlo] xorg 1.9 crash

[Bernie Thompson]

Hi Christoph,

I haven't seen this, sorry.

One thing to try: run the standard "fbdev" xorg driver with the damage
support patch. It's more in sync with the xorg codebase than the older
"displaylink" xorg driver is. Instructions are at the bottom of this
post: http://plugable.com/2010/05/21/linux-support-for-higher-res-monitors-on-lower-res-displaylink-devices/

The version of fbdev driver in git referenced from that post is from
xorg 1.8, I think.  If it causes problems, you could probably re-apply
the damage support patch to the 1.9 version (you'll see it in git,
it's just a few dozen lines) .. I haven't had time to do so yet.

Thanks for letting us know if that helps or not.

Best wishes,
Bernie
