I know this may seem like getting excited over nothing when you can go out and get a Raspberry Pi 4 that supports 2 displays out of the box.....for $35....however this goal goes back to 7 years ago when scoring a $25 Pogoplug or Dockstar was a steal...............
Anyway,
So I was curious................
Bought a cheap DisplayLink compatible USB 2.0 to DVI adapter. Zettaguard something or the other. Most important thing, it's DisplayLink compatible
Plugged it in to a Dell M300 running 5.5.1-kirkwood-tld-1.
Didn't load any drivers whatsoever.
Presented with a login screen after the boot was done. Monitor reports 1920x1080 p60.
Was completely stoked :)
Now to try to load xwindows on another M300, I don't want to mess up this M300 because it's set up exactly the way I want.
Will report back.
