Great to see such progress since I lastly tested with my system.
My comments:
- notaz, before adding Takedown's xorg.conf to the firmware, please let's try to find out, why the Xinerama option doesn't work on SZ. It does on SL4P, and it can make things much more comfortable I think, as this allows for extended desktop as opposed to an own desktop (probably with an own instance of X) on each screen.
Does anyone have an idea, why it works on SL4P but doesn't on SZ?
- kuru, your adapter from Pollin might not work. There are different chipsets used. We only support the DisplayLink chipset now, and I don't see any mention about what chipset is used there. My recommendation is to directly search for "DisplayLink" on Amazon or Ebay and only use adpaters that are found using that search word. Then it's quite sure that the adapter will work.
Oh, I see, in a post just a few hours later you say it works. So you did not order it from Pollin but directly bought it there? Do you live near Pfoerring? I do, so then let's meet and share experiences. :-D
- kuru, adapter not working on a hub is not a general problem. Maybe the adapter draws too much power? Is it a powered hub? I have a DL adapter working un an unpowered hub, together with an external mouse and keyboard.
- Anyone here with enough knowledge to help optimizing the setup? ideally with real hotplug of course, although this might not be possible with the used version of X. But maybe we can have some semi-hotplug, e.g. with an automated restart of X (after user confirmation) on the other screen after connecting / disconnecting the DL adapter.
