I have a Kensington Universal Multi-Display Adapter which takes a monitors DVI and connects it to the laptop through the usb. What driver would I enable in the kernel? And is there anything I need to do to the X server config file?

Mr.google returned stuff like this...

Now the kernel also needs support, but I think most recent kernels have the "displaylink" driver in it, just need to enable it:

CONFIG_FB_UDL
CONFIG_DRM_UDL though I don't think there really is direct rendering on this device? But KMS may be needed.
