[Maverick] Displaylink working as screen0

[ml1969]

Hello,

I use an Acer Aspire One D150 Netbook, have installed Ubuntu 10.10 -maverick.
All works fine inclusive Wlan.
I also have an Mimo 7" USB-touchscreen display.
I installed with the software-center the xorg-displaylink-driver and also the X2X (for mouse and keyboard)

With the help of google I found some settings for the xorg.conf which are working for me:

# xorg.conf (X.Org X Window System server configuration file)

so if i start with the USB-display connected all looks good.
The Mimo is the main screen, I can use the keyboard and mouse on both screens
-I'm very happy about this -

BUT if I start the netbook without the usb-display I get no gdm login screen I only can use the commandline.

What have I to do that it doesn matter if the usb-dispaly is connected or not?


I hope you understand my (german) problem

P.S. one little problem. If I use the touchscreen and if I touch the panel in the upper left corner the mouse will be in the lower right, it seems to be mirrored.

Hi there,

I'm trying to do the same thing, only with a Dell Inspiron Duo Netbook (Netvertible )
I Only see the Ubuntu Logo on my Displaylink Display when i enter X11. When I switch to TTY1 (strg+alt+f1) I see the normal Bash console on the Displaylink Monitor. This text only console ist fully functional. But no X11

I don't see why you need the x2x thinggy? Haven't seen any Howto that mentions it. Can you enlighten me?

To your GDM Problem. This link http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/Ubuntu9.04 mentions that you have to edit the file /etc/gdm/Init/Default. Have you allready done this?

And now...here is my xorg.conf
