UDL device cannot get its own screen

Hi,

I have the below configuration for an Intel based POS system that,
while advertises 3 outputs (DP1, VGA1 and HDMI1 with xf86-video-intel),
only two are usable. DP1 for the built-in touchscreen and VGA1 for
the external VGA connector.

I wanted to use an USB DisplayLink device as the 3rd output, with all
three output using its own Screen number, i.e. :0.0 :0.1 and :0.2.

The first observation is that I can't seem to be able to use the Intel
DDX driver in conjunction with the modesetting DDX that the UDL device
uses. The symptom is that two modesetting outputs are initialized,
one for UDL and one for the disconnected HDMI1 Intel output. At least
now the X server don't crash as with Xorg 1.19.x with a similar attempt.

The second is that when the modesetting driver is used, the Intel outputs
are renamed from VGA1 to VGA-1 and so on, i.e. the outputs get an extra
"-" between the output type and the number so it needed extra typing
to port the original config from intel to modesetting.

The third observation is that while I am using this configuration below,
so the UDL device should be assigned to :0.2 (and active!), it is really
assigned to :0[.0] as an inactive output. See that there's no "*" indicator
set for any of the supported modes on DVI-I-1-1.

How can I set up 3 different Screens correctly for 3 separate fullscreen
applications?

I am using Xorg 1.20.4 patched with the "autobind GPUs to the screen"
patch from Dave Airlie that at least wakes up the UDL device and makes
it visible without extra magic with providers/sinks.
