The next problem I was having was getting my DoubleSight DS-90UT touchscreen display to operate. I borrowed some instructions from:
DisplayLink GDM install
. After I followed all the steps, I wasn't exactly sure which steps were crucial to get the touchscreen working. So I went back and redid them and found that it seems like only the following steps are absolutely necessary. It seems to me that you can get udev to autoconfig based on whether or not the USB display is connected, OR you can do a simple setup after installing the drivers and using xorg.conf. Here is the simple method that I used:
1. UPDATE USING THE UPDATE MANAGER!
2. Install udlfb module:
3. Install DisplayLink Xserver:
4. Create a carefully crafted /etc/X11/xorg.conf
This seems to allow me to boot up with the USB monitor plugged or unplugged and the diplay going to the correct monitor depending on the case. Apparently this driver only allows one monitor at a time though. Sometimes changing "/dev/fb1" to "/dev/fb0" may be necessary. So far I haven't been able to install the "displaylink" driver instead of "fbdev", which would allow for two monitors connected simultaneously. This was completed using LinuxCNC 2.7 wheezy.
1. UPDATE USING THE UPDATE MANAGER!
2. Install udlfb module:

sudo apt-get install module-assistant
sudo module-assistant prepare
cd ~/Downloads
git clone http://git.plugable.com/webdav/udlfb/
cd udlfb
make
sudo make install
sudo depmod -a3. Install DisplayLink Xserver:
Warning: Spoiler!
sudo apt-get install pkg-config xorg-dev
cd ~/Downloads
git clone http://git.plugable.com/webdav/xf-video-udlfb/
cd xf-video-udlfb
./configure

sudo make install4. Create a carefully crafted /etc/X11/xorg.conf

So today I got the touchscreen up and running. I had to change the DPI to 75 in order for gscreen to entirely fit in my 1024x600 resolution. So for now I am happy, but it seems like the interface could use some tweaking to our needs, and my programming skills are mostly based off of what I can do in VIM, so obviously some studying is going to be required, but so far I have been able to copy gscreen.glade into a tester.glade and start testing. Does anyone have an easy way to add a jogspeed selector? It seems like the main thing I am missing now.
