DisplayLink

[Adam Williamson]

One other option I came across for my extra-external-monitor situation
(see other thread about sisusb etc), btw, was this:

http://www.everythingusb.com/iogear_usb_2.0_external_video_card_12787.html

It's another USB video adapter, but this one based on DisplayLink:

http://www.displaylink.com/

which seems to be basically a custom designed adapter plus driver with
whizzy compression abilities and stuff that allows better performance
for USB video. Currently they only have Windows drivers, but they
announced drivers for OS X at MacWorld this year.

I Googled for "displaylink" "linux" and "displaylink" "xorg", checked
the archives of this list, and came up blank.

Has anyone seen / heard of this thing, and looked into how difficult
it'd be to do an X.org driver?
