Do they work as well as advertised? Is the display reasonably snappy? The reason I am interested is that we have had a request to add some remote displays in our vehicles. A solution that only needed a USB port would make this easier. I wonder if/when they will support USB 3.
It is good and I can say it runs well in openSUSE. My testing machine is a Dell all in one pc that only has usb port and no external vga port. It uses Intel graphics. I only check it with vga projector and I plan to test it with other monitor to see if I can use it to extend my desktop. The only problem with my test is when I use it to connect to the vga projector, my actual monitor only shows the background and the desktop is took over by this device, I cannot move the application between the actual monitor and the projector or vice versa. Maybe some tweaks in xorg.conf can fix it. What I need is like the twinview setting in nvidia. For the time being the current setting and result is ok for me. This device comes with libdlo, and googling show me that I should use udlfb and xf86-video-udlfb (http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/xf86-driver-displaylink and http://libdlo.freedesktop.org/wiki/displaylink-mod). My model is USB2.0 version like http://plugable.com/products/uga-125/ Wikipedia says that DisplayLink will support USB 3.0 by the end of this year. -- medwinz ======================= http://medwinz.blogsome.com medwin@opensuse.org -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
