Hi all,
I am looking for info feedback on the usb to vga status under gentoo.
As anyone a set-up with this?Is it working? how well?How easy it is ?any advice?hardware?

why : I am looking into buying a asus U47VC http://www.asus.com/Notebooks/Superior_Mobility/U47VC/#specifications
unfortunatly this laptop come without vga port or I am now addicted to twin view/extended desktop for work and external monitors (home and work) are vga
need it to work with laptop lcd 1366x768 and monitor 1920x1080
hope this can work with intel Intel HD 4000 or nvidia NVIDIA® GeForce® G 620M

So I am looking into usb to vga

So far, from what I have been looking at on the net the status seems (to me) unclear.
How easy it is ?any advices?
