We'll see if it solves user's troubles.
DisplayLink external DVI/VGA display on SuperZaxxon firmware: Request for assistance

@hmc: I would argue that it makes sense to include it for end users to play with for the simple reason that you have no way to predict what hardware the end user may want to use. Different monitors may require different settings, so it makes sense to have the tool there to adjust the configuration as needed.
As an example It took me a while to get my existing media centre machine to play nicely with my new TV. It was xrandr that I used to figure out the correct parameters for the xorg.conf.

okay, then I also vote for including xrandr in SZ firmware.

Has anyone actually tested it?

I have installed it and started the binary - works.
However, I did not yet actually use it for anything. This will have to wait until the weekend.

Did you edited xorg.conf and added the max resolution, e.g:
Code:
Section "Screen"
Identifier "DisplayLinkScreen"
Device "DisplayLinkDevice"
Monitor "DisplayLinkMonitor"
Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
DefaultDepth 16
EndSection

Not the exact same syntax.
Maybe try mine, then retry xrandr.

I use the original xorg.conf.displaylink and change the name to xorg.conf, reboot and test the adapter. Works with 1024x768 only.
Then I insert the line
Modes "800x600" "1024x768" "1280x1024"
in the xorg.conf and reboot. The Pandora wont start and hang on bootscreen.

Mmm you should set up your adapter without auto X.
Edit /etc/inittab and change
id:5:initdefault:
into
id:4:initdefault:
Then log and use startx .

Same problem. It takes ages to boot and then I could only log into a terminal.

Should not take long to boot, that's strange.
Anyway, that's where to start to tweak your system because you can edit xorg.conf, then start X quickly.
Check this wiki:

Bought a different USB hub, DL works with this one. Weird but seems like the old hub would only power up properly when used with a laptop or desktop, not while connected to the Pandora.
