Bug Description

In order for the first DisplayLink device hotplug after reboot to be correctly acted on in GNOME, the following fix should be backported to all Xorg-server downstream branches that already apply the patch "xf86: autobind GPUs to the screen" (upstream 078277e4d92f05a90c4715d61b89b9d9d38d68ea):

https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/merge_requests/326

The related upstream bug report fixed by this is
https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/issues/909

I originally diagnosed the issue on Ubuntu 19.04 with Xorg based on the 1.20.4 upstream release.

Upstream will not backport this patch into the stable 1.20 branch, because that branch does not carry "xf86: autobind GPUs to the screen".

Bug 1853357 shares the same upstream link. Should we use bug 1853357 instead?

Let's keep them separate. Bug 1853357 is a Wayland-related bug with many other issues mixed in. This here is a Xorg patch.
