[opensuse] Clone monitors on two separate cards

12 Apr 2013

      Hello Guys,

I have a ThinkPenguine notebook running on OpenSuSe 12.3. and last week I have 
bought Plugable USB docking station (runs with DysplayLink chipset). The aim 
of this purchase was getting this behavior:
1. Running two cloned screens when connected to USB docking station
2. Running primary screen on the external monitor and extended screen on the 
notebook, when connected to USB docking station.
Basically both options would be fine.
After making the adjustments to X server suggested here 
http://plugable.com/2011/12/23/usb-graphics-and-linuxI got the external 
monitor working more ore less OK. Never the less my laptop screen was not 
functional. I have tried to manually edit xorg.conf in following way:
Section "Device" 
  Identifier "laptop_card" 
  driver "intel"
  BusID  "PCI:0:2:0"
EndSection

Section "Device" 
  Identifier "uga" 
  driver "fbdev" 
  Option "fbdev" "/dev/fb1" 
  Option "ShadowFB" "off"
EndSection 

Section "Monitor" 
  Identifier "uga_monitor" 
EndSection 

Section "Monitor" 
  Identifier "laptop_monitor" 
EndSection

Section "Screen" 
  Identifier "uga_screen" 
  Device "uga" 
  Monitor "uga_monitor" 
EndSection 

Section "Screen" 
  Identifier "laptop_screen" 
  Device "laptop_card" 
  Monitor "laptop_monitor" 
EndSection

Section "ServerLayout"
  Identifier "Default Layout"
  Screen 0 "uga_screen" 0 0
  Screen 1 "laptop_screen" RightOf "uga_screen" 
  Option "Xinerama" "On"
EndSection

But unfortunately the result is the same. If I start X with usb plugged in, my 
laptop screen disappears.

Any ideas?
