There’s good news and bad news:
Bad News:
You expected to struggle with this. You expected that this will be as tricky as it used to be. Rotten luck, chum.
Good news:
Create a file called called:
60-plugable.conf
Via this path:
/usr/share/X11/xorg.conf.d/60-plugable.conf
With this as the contents:
Section “Device”
Identifier “displaylink”
driver “fbdev”
Option “fbdev” “/dev/fb1”
Option “ShadowFB” “off”
EndSection
Section “Monitor”
Identifier “monitor”
EndSection
Section “Screen”
Identifier “screen”
Device “displaylink”
Monitor “monitor”
EndSectionSection “ServerLayout”
Identifier “default”
Screen 0 “screen” 0 0
EndSection
Restart your Pi.
Win.
PLEASE NOTE: If you want to use the DisplayLink USB screen as a dual-view, setup, change “/dev/fb1” to “/dev/fb2” in the 60-plugable.conf file.
Questions?
Hey. Totally new to any of this but I just got that monitor and trying to get it working with my pi. So I created a file with nano. How do I add the path you listed? Also do I just copy the contents exactly?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
I did exactly this, but got no response from the AOC monitor. Any ideas?
Hi
Please double check the “/dev/fb1” in the 60-plugable.conf file. If it is a secondary screen, please change it to “/dev/fb2”.
