[Sussex] Multiple screens using USB to VGA converters

[Brendan Whelan]

Steve, thanks for the response. I have looked around and, as you 
suspected, there doesn't seem to much information on USB-VGA drivers for 
Linux. If I go for the simpler option of using graphics cards, is it 
possible to continue to use the VGA output on the motherboard and 
configure the second screen on another graphics card?
