DisplayLink USB 2.0 Graphics Adapters on Linux – 2014 Edition. Etc) results in a quite usable setup, provided your main display adapter is a recent Intel chip. Unfortunately, due to the discontinuation of Gnome 3’s fallback mode, that is no longer an option for improved performance. Plugable USB 2.0 HDMI/DVI/VGA Adapter for Multiple.

It is recommended that any time a part containing an 'O' ring is disassembled, that the 'O' ring be replaced at the same time. A medium point stylus is furnished with each new tool. Replaceable carbide styluses are available with fine, medium or coarse tips. Hesoolver 256. A Filter/Regulator/Lubricator unit is essential for minimizing maintenance and extending tool life. The LGS-30 features a twist throttle which, once turned fully on, can be throttled towards the off position to reduce the impact force on the stylus when marking on softer metals or if very fine marks are to be made.

The VGA port broke off my tablet and is a big > repair job. Steve -- No direct experience, and (speaking for myself), this is the first I've heard of this category of component. Web-searching for vga-usb adapter linux.turns up some interesting hits. In general USB to (HDMI,DVI,VGA) devices either work or don't.

But there are devices that are known to work under Linux, such as this one: UltraVideo USB 2.0 to DVI-I or VGA Video Adapter Link from the item name goes to an apparent mail-order computer outfit named Accell, where you are offered those for $90. Article at purports to survey the situation for that category of part as of two years ago (but see below). Quoting: You can find many distros and configurations where [USB video] just won’t work.

We’d recommend staying away unless you’re an advanced Linux user who is willing to play with different distros, install optional components and do hand configuration. Unfortunately, it’s just not plug and play yet today, as it is on Windows. [.] However, this article is _specifically_ for remote video display over USB using outboard boxes made by a company called Plugable using chips by a company called DisplayLink -- whose target market appears to be places where they want to send video out over USB to multiple monitors, like in a computing lab, perhaps, dunno. Anyway, probably too complicated for the simple use-case you're trying to address. (FWIW, it's also addressed here: ) But if you find one you can afford, that's another solution.

This guy has the same J5Create unit you have: The answer is: No support for _this_ model. As you found out. The manufacturer of this product openly supports LINUX for other devices they sell, but not for this one. So, that's another solution: A J5Create, but not the JUA210 USB Display Adapter.

If you keep searching the hits from the aforementioned search string and keep selectively reading the pages it matches, you can find discussion of other such hardware's alleged Linux support, such as a page where it's claimed that a bunch of SIIG-brand USB-VGA hardware supports Linux starting with the 3.0.0 Linux kernel. Page doesn't elaborate on what's required to get that going. And, thinking about that (what's required to get it going), I suddenly realised there's a probably very severe, not-easily-solved-at-all gotcha for your tablet: Most of the pages I skim-read about getting Linux going on USB-video hardware assume you can work in Linux and see what you're doing, e.g., the reason you're seeking to get USB-video going is to add _additional_ video beyond the first screen. But of course you cannot see video on Linux, hence have a chicken-and-egg problem. I'm going to post your query and my answer to CABAL's mailing list, but suspect you might, given the circumstances, be out of luck for all _practical_ purposes.

When I use the latter qualifier, I'm excluding heroic measures like taking your tablet apart, removing temporarily its hard drive or SSD to mount it into a different computer with a working video screen, installing Linux, retrofitting the needed Linux driver support for some USB-VGA adapter into the Linux installation, then shutting down and moving the HD or SSD back into your tablet and booting Linux on it. You _could_ do such a workaround, but by the time you invested that much effort into the problem, it'd probably be a lot more rational to just buy a replacement used tablet. Speaking of which, you might actually want to consider the latter, if you can afford it, seriously. ----- End forwarded message ----- • Next message: • Messages sorted.
