USB VGA adapters

[Kurlon]

What's the level of support for either Displaylink or SiS (magic control tech/sisusbvga) adapters? Are the modules built as part of Warhead's test kernel already?

3.1+ ?

I've not enabled them at this point, but they wouldn't be horrible to turn on. I have no such adapters however.

I've figured out the necessary tweak to get my SiS based adapter working on a GoFlex Net, if my coworkers pick up the Pogoplug Pros I found for them I'll post up and help test.

I have one of the newer display link adapters (DL-3100) which has an HDMI out which also passes sound. I haven't thought to use it with the plug, I currently use it since I have a monitor (Playstation 3D Display) which only has HDMI inputs but a business laptop which has only VGA output.

While it would be interesting to get a full x desktop supported on this, I'm having trouble even thinking of a good reason to do it. It would certainly be way too slow to do just about any user interactive stuff with wouldn't it?

From playing with my sloooooow SIS based unit, your basic desktop/terminals/irc/browsing/etc works fine. I wouldn't watch movies on it, but I was playing Pingus on my HD TV via my GFN with it.
