[12:45] <JanC> does anybody know if USB/VGA devices like this are supposed to work in Ubuntu/linux/Xorg: http://www.frescologic.com/products_show.php?ms=3 ?
[13:01] <tjaalton> never heard, sounds similar to displaylink
[13:08] <JanC> tjaalton: my first thought when I saw a USB/VGA support question in #ubuntu-nl was also "displaylink" (which is supported IIRC?), but I would expect the manufacturer to mention that in their specs then...
[13:13] <tjaalton> apparently usb3 displaylink isn't supported either
[13:13] <JanC> right, was just reading that
[13:19] <JanC> """These series of chipsets incorporates HDCP 2.0 encryption barring the implementation in open source software. It is intended to support content protection, and DisplayLink has stated that it needs to ensure this remains secure under an open source environment."""
[13:21] <tjaalton> nice
[13:26] <JanC> as if closed source drivers on Windows/OS X can't be "hacked" to circumvent this...
[13:30] <JanC> or just use a decrypting device/cable at the other end  :p
