Do you really want two X server or one X server with two displays?
I think it's the last one isn't it?

Same here.

I do not use libdlo.

You can try to configure your xorg.conf this way:

The display link screen section with DefaultDepth:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier      "DisplayLinkScreen"
    Device          "DisplayLinkDevice"
    Monitor         "DisplayLinkMonitor"
    DefaultDepth    16
EndSection

The internal device section needs to have the Driver option
(Choose your driver instead of intel):
Section "Device"
    Identifier      "Configured Video Device"
    Driver          "intel"
EndSection

The internal Screen section with the same DefaultDepth as above:
Section "Screen"
    Identifier      "Default Screen"
    Monitor         "Configured Monitor"
    Device          "Configured Video Device"
    DefaultDepth    16
EndSection

And finally the ServerLayout section:
- Use Absolute coordinates for placement
- Turn on Xinerama
Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier      "Server Layout"
    Screen  0       "Default Screen" Absolute 0 0
    Screen  1       "DisplayLinkScreen" Absolute 1366 0
    Option          "Xinerama"      "true"
EndSection

The other sections seem OK.
