[Libdlo] running 2 instances of X for multihead display

[Marcus Becker]

I had major trouble getting the second display to work with the nvidia
binary driver on the main display. Lucky me, I found this post:

To share the wisdom I gathered...

The script displaylink.sh starts xinit with the second xorg.conf.DL and
xinit executes the second .xinitrc2 script in my home directory.
Finally x2x is executed to run in the background, it switched the input
devices between the displays (mouse).

The x2x program works flawless and I can run awesome twice to have to
independent desktops.
The good thing, this should work with any other card  :)

One last hint, turn off dpms on the udlfb display (it never wakes up again)

Thanks,
Marcus
