Problem to use with USB VGA dongle

[Brian Jordan]

Hi Ben,

I had a bit of luck with the StarTech USB2VGA2 on 8.2 using this xorg.conf:
http://dev.laptop.org/~bjordan/xorg.conf

A few notes:
* Resolution on the VGA monitor I'm testing with is not perfect, the upper
left side of the screen is cut off a bit
* Right now, the XO display is not being mirrored on the VGA display,
rather, the VGA display is replacing it. Anyone know how mirroring should be
done?
* Bootup is interrupted if dongle is plugged in during bootup. So wait until
it boots up and says: "Fatal server error: no screens found. giving up."
Then plug in dongle, and run "olpc-dm".
* When the XO goes to sleep, the display won't come back:
