It's packaged in most distros (F7, recent Ubuntus), so `man sisusb` or
`man sisusbvga` should give an passable overview. The author keeps a
good page:

  http://www.winischhofer.eu/linuxsisusbvga.shtml

Quote:
This page provides information on Net2280/SiS315 based USB2VGA dongles
of various makes, usually called "USB2VGA" or "USB-to-SVGA dongle";
one of the companies marketing such a device is called "Sitecom",
another is "Tritton"

This other page http://www.nslu2-linux.org/wiki/HowTo/AddVGAAdapter
lists 3 devices:
    * Sitecom CN-105
    * Sweex KB100050
    * Startech.com USB2VGA

I'll update the wiki

cheers,
