Comment 1 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2012-11-19 09:53:47 UTC
I will update the ebuild to depend on <xorg-server-1.13, but this driver is mostly obsolete and you should migrate to the KMS driver (CONFIG_DRM_UDL) and xf86-video-modesetting.

Hi, i'm trying to start xorg-server-1.13.0-r1 with driver xf86-video-modesetting-0.5.0 and he stops with error that no screens found.

I think that still need a driver xf86-video-displaylink to startup xorg-server with usb-videocards based on DisplayLink M01061.

PS: I use a laptop MacbookPro with external monitor Samsung MD230X3, connected through three adapters Lenovo M01061.

Hi, do you have new information about this problem?
Comment 4 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-04-28 21:50:00 UTC
I don't have such hardware. If the problem still exists, you need to report a bug at https://bugs.freedesktop.org/ so it can be addressed.

Comment 6 ph 2013-04-29 04:45:46 UTC
This problem still exists and I find workaround - migrate to the x11-drivers/xf86-video-fbdev, because xf86-video-modesetting is unaccelerated driver.
Comment 7 Chí-Thanh Christopher Nguyễn gentoo-dev 2013-06-01 03:50:54 UTC
Both xf86-video-fbdev and xf86-video-modesetting are unaccelerated. You can use >=xrandr-1.4.0 to set it as provider output source of another graphics chipset, or use that as offload sink if you run a separate X server on it.

xf86-video-displaylink has now been dropped from the x11 overlay.
