Hello All! The boss dropped one of those DisplayLink USB display adaptors on my desk today, and I'm drooling at the prospect of having a third monitor on my devel machine.
The machine is running F14 at present and the kernel doesn't know what to do with the adapter when I plug it in. The system log indicates that something with a particular vendor ID is plugged in but nothing else. These things are pretty new so I booted a F16 Live CD and the situation is much better. The system log enumerates available resolutions, allocates a framebuffer, and registers the udlfb driver for it. The monitor, for its part, presents a lovely solid green screen. But Xorg doesn't seem to care; and my desktop is still limited to my current two heads, with nary a hint of another display device available. This all seems so close I can taste it. But I don't know what to try. In the old days, I might have tried to jack with the xorg.conf file, but that seems to have vanished somewhere along the way while I wasn't looking. Has anybody got one of these things to work? How can I tell Xorg that there's another display out there, longing to be used? -Alan -- users mailing list users@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe or change subscription options: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/users Guidelines: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines Have a question?
