Howdy All, Anyone know of a good USB to VGA adapter that works with Linux (randr preferably). My new netbook lacks any video out so I'd like to do it USB to VGA with Linux.

The adapter can display in resolutions up to 1920×1080. Akt uplotneniya peska blank. When the adapter is connected to your PC, graphics processing still is handled by your computer’s central processor and graphics processor. The USB graphic adapter’s DisplayLink drivers on the PC compress and transmit pixels to the USB adapter as pixels are updated. The adapter’s DisplayLink DL-3100 chipset decodes the data and displays it. The adapter measures 3.5 inches long x 2 inches wide x 5/8 inches high, and its plastic casing sports a black glossy finish. Multiple Monitor Magic For anyone doing information work in several applications or files all at once, multiple monitors can be indispensable.

Moving windows between monitors is an easy drag-and-drop action. If you need more monitors than you have USB ports on your PC, you can connect adapters through a USB hub. The USB3-VGA adapter can be used in conjunction with any of Plugable’s other USB graphics adapters. Please note that USB graphics adapters not powered by DisplayLink technology cannot be used on your PC simultaneously with Plugable (or any non-DisplayLink-based) USB graphics adapters. Even the drivers for non-DisplayLink USB graphics adapters must be uninstalled from the PC. When the adapter is connected to a SuperSpeed USB 3.0 port on the PC, the increased data transmission speed makes it possible to display high-definition video without audio synchronization issues on 1080p-compliant displays.

Operating System and Drive Details WINDOWS VERSION COMPATIBILITY: Drivers are provided automatically via the Microsoft Windows Update mechanism with approved drivers across for Windows XP, Windows 7, and Windows 8. 64-bit and full Aero support on Windows 7. Windows XP 64-bit not supported.

Not compatible with ARM-based Windows (MS Surface) or Windows RT. Note that Microsoft limits multiple display support in Windows 7 “Starter” Edition to mirroring screens. Even though drivers are provided automatically, we recommend visiting the Plugable for the most recent drivers and other information. DisplayLink’s Windows drivers make use of the main GPU for rendering, and require an Intel, nVidia, ATI/AMD primary graphics driver supporting WDDM to be installed. Most systems since Windows 7 satisfy this requirement. Different USB graphics drivers types (MCT/Tritton, SMSC, Fresco) are not compatible on the same system.

In particular, some versions of MCT drivers will bluescreen when other USB graphics drivers are also present. Uninstall other USB graphics driver types before switching types, and stay with a single type (e.g. DisplayLink based) on a single system. MAC COMPATIBILITY: Mac is not supported due to significant limitations in the operating system. LINUX COMPATIBILITY: Linux is not supported for this device Performance Tuning If you’re experiencing slowness or latency on your USB-connected display: • Make sure your adapter is connected to a USB 3.0 port (if available) on your computer.
