[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 812594] Re: HP USB Graphics Adapter (Displaylink) shows green screen
Warning the DisplayLink driver is dependent on reading the EDID (Extended display identification data) from the Monitor. If the monitor does not supply this, then (as in my case) everything you try will fail. This a partial workaround works for a single display: 1. make sure the displaylink driver is installed sudo apt-get install xserver-xorg-video-displaylink 2. Put the following into the file /usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/52-displaylink.conf (please have a look at the Notes below as well) Section Device Identifier DisplayLinkDevice driver displaylink Option fbdev /dev/fb0# or /dev/fb1 depending on the results of dmesg | grep DisplayLink EndSection ### Section Monitor Identifier DisplayLinkMonitor EndSection Section Screen Identifier DisplayLinkScreen Device DisplayLinkDevice Monitor DisplayLinkMonitor SubSection Display Depth 16 Modes 1024x768 EndSubSection EndSection 3. Add the following to /etc/gdm/Init/Default above the exit 0 at the end of the file: ### set display for attached USB devices XRANDR=`gdmwhich xrandr` if [ x$XRANDR != x ] ; then $XRANDR -o 0 fi 4. stop X sudo stop gdm 5. Test out before restarting gdm: sudo startx At this point, you should see at least a mouse cursor that you can move around, and possibly the Unity 2D fallback interface, in case you're using Natty. 6. If the desktop apepars and is usable, you should be able to now start gdm and have a login screen: sudo start gdm -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-displaylink in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812594 Title: HP USB Graphics Adapter (Displaylink) shows green screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-displaylink/+bug/812594/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp

[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 812594] Re: HP USB Graphics Adapter (Displaylink) shows green screen
I did upgrade to Oneric, and yes the issue still occurs with Oneric, I still get the green screen when I plug it in, and tweaking of Xorg.conf is to no avail. This bug is also reported to Canonical Paid Support under my company globeone case: 00019304 I even went to the great lengths of sending a physical HP USB Display Link adapter to the Canonical London office so they could have the actual hardware to fix the bug with. This, as the project that my company is working on is dependent on getting a USB-VGA adapter working under Ubuntu. You would think with paid support (2 licences, one for Lucid and one for Natty) and actually sending the physical hardware Canonical/Ubuntu Community could come up with something better than: I can't promise we'll get to it (we get way more bugs filed than we can usually get to), but your testing and feedback can help out if and when we do. I am starting to understand why Businesses use RedHat, SuSe or even Microsoft. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu-X, which is subscribed to xserver-xorg-video-displaylink in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/812594 Title: HP USB Graphics Adapter (Displaylink) shows green screen To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xserver-xorg-video-displaylink/+bug/812594/+subscriptions ___ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat Post to : ubuntu-x-swat@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-x-swat More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
[Ubuntu-x-swat] [Bug 830949] Re: [Intel N10 Graphics] Plugging in external monitor to VGA port makes both displays corrupted with thick slanted lines
My second monitor showed a big white and blue stripe down the middle and after a reboot a dithered screen with every other scan line blacked out. The shocker of this incident is Wont Fix!!! Unbelievably unprofessional. The screen is the most important as it's your interface with the computer.
