I currently have a DisplayLink usb2.0 -> HDMI adapter working (giving the 'green screen of triumph') but I do not know how to add entry to xorg.conf such that I can use this screen...
currently my xorg looks as-follows:
where my dmesg finds my display link as:Code:Section "ServerLayout" Identifier "X.org Configured" Screen 0 "DisplayLinkScreen" 0 0 Screen 1 "Intel-Screen-HDMI" LeftOf "DisplayLinkScreen" Screen 2 "Intel-Screen-LVDS1" RightOf "DisplayLinkScreen" Option "Xinerama" "on" Option "clone" "off" InputDevice "Mouse0" "CorePointer" InputDevice "Keyboard0" "CoreKeyboard" EndSection Section "Files" ModulePath "/usr/lib/xorg/modules" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/cyrillic" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi/:unscaled" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/Type1" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/100dpi" FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/75dpi" FontPath "/var/lib/defoma/x-ttcidfont-conf.d/dirs/TrueType" FontPath "built-ins" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Keyboard0" Driver "kbd" EndSection Section "InputDevice" Identifier "Mouse0" Driver "mouse" Option "Protocol" "auto" Option "Device" "/dev/input/mice" Option "ZAxisMapping" "4 5 6 7" EndSection Section "Device" Identifier "IntelDevice" Driver "intel" Option "monitor-LVDS1" "LCD-Monitor" Option "monitor-HDMI1" "HDMI-Monitor" VendorName "Intel Corporation" # BusID "PCI:0:2:0" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Intel-Screen-HDMI" Monitor "HDMI-Monitor" Device "IntelDevice" Subsection "Display" DefaultDepth 24 Modes "1920x1080" "1600x1200" "1200x1024" "1280x960" EndSubsection EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "Intel-Screen-LVDS1" Monitor "LCD-Monitor" Device "IntelDevice" Subsection "Display" DefaultDepth 24 Modes "1366x768" "1024x768" "800x600" "640x480" EndSubsection EndSection ################ DisplayLink Stuff ################### Section "Device" Identifier "DisplayLinkDevice" Driver "fbdev" BusID "USB" # needed to use multiple DisplayLink devices Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" # change to whatever device you want to use # Option "rotate" "CCW" # uncomment for rotation EndSection Section "Monitor" Identifier "DisplayLink" Modeline "1920x1080_60.00" 173.00 1920 2048 2248 2576 1080 1083 1088 1120 -hsync +vsync Option "PreferredMode" "1920x1080_60.00" Option "DPMS" "true" EndSection Section "Screen" Identifier "DisplayLinkScreen" Device "DisplayLinkDevice" Monitor "DisplayLink" Subsection "Display" DefaultDepth 24 Modes "1920x1080" "1600x1200" "1200x1024" "1280x960" EndSubsection EndSection

I want to get these three screens working -- I'm not sure how to proceed... currently the xorg.conf I have provided seems to freeze up my computer on boot.
Anybody got some good step-by-step tips on how to xorg.conf? I see lots of people on here saying "I added a configuration to xorg.conf and it worked" but I'd love to see what you mean by that... thanks in advance!
