DisplayLink, Debian 7, multihead?

So, I can get my displaylink devices working as frame buffers, I can get X running using the frame buffer driver. I can even get X on two screens using xinerama & two DL devices....but I can't get it working along side my real graphics card. No matter what, X will only run on the radeon, or the displaylink, never both. Which actually works, depends on what's specified first in the xorg.conf.

I did try setting the radeon to use a framebuffer driver, that didn't work either.

Has anyone managed to get this working, along side their standard graphics card, in debian? I did manage to once get this working in ubuntu 12.10, but it was a very ugly setup, and I don't want to go back.

Thanks.
