[support-gang] using usb2vga with 11.2.0 and 10.1.3

[Kevin Gordon]

Updates:

Both USB2VGA and USB2VGA2 work just fine on Build 23 on the 1.5's.

Neither work on any 11.2 build from os2 to os23 on the 1.0's. I have 5 XO
1.0s on the 'test bed', and installed all of the buildsto see if any
worked.  None of them come up, with an external monitor.  Doing the
'check-mark' boot shows they stop booting at various places, some with the
USB 8 buffers assigned (13.xxxxx) line mentioned in the ticket, some with a
Starting Cronds, some with a Setting Hostname line.  However, to repeat,
they never boot successfully, regardless of where it stops, with an adapter
plugged in to any port on any 1.0 machine with any 11.2.

(Must say I don't miss those multiple keychain prompts after first install
on the early builds)  :-)

Since it seems to never work on any build, if you like, I can concentrate on
just os23 on multiple XO 1.0 machines on multiple USB ports and see if there
are any differences in where it halts, even if I've previously plugged it in
after boot or not.  I've had it get to the 3rd dot before hanging on a
couple of occasions, and I think that's the time I see the 'Starting Cronds'
on the console .  So, if I have a more directed rather than shotgun plan,
perhaps I can be more helpful.

Just to be clear, i have verified that all 5 of these XO 1.0's work great
with these same external adapters using Build 860 from 10.10.1.3.

Cheers, KG
