RE: Sitecom CN-105 USB2 to VGA adapter?

Following is my correspondence with the manufacturer of the device:
Telegnosis (Japan). This is what prompted me to bring up the topic or
Ruby on laptops or on computers with no PCI slots.

Dear Sir,

Thanks for your prompt reply.
Under Windows, we can support up to 8 dongles if you do not care its
slowly display performance. It means that users can extend 8 monitors
max. from their PC's real USB2.0 ports.

Thank you for the response. I wish to stay in touch with you. Please
tell me, even under Windows, can one attach two or more of your units to
enable two or more video screens to be added? Yitzhak Bar Geva

Our USB20SVGA dongle just only support Window2000pro or XP.
It can help PC user especially for notebook to use Windows' multidisplay
function easily. It can not support Linux right now.

I can't read Japanese, but I am interested in corresponding regarding
the Telegnosis VGA to USB adapter.
My first question is:
Can multiple adapters be placed on the same PC? My application requires
four different monitors, each attaches to a seperate X Windows session
under Linux.
To be precise: I do not(!!) have one desktop. I use four different
desktops - each one with a separate user. Can your adapter provide this
capability for mapping four different PCI addresses?
Thank you,
Yitzhak Bar Geva

Hi,

Has anyone tried this device? It seems an ideal way to expand
a server with as many terminals as needed, without being limited
by available PCI slots.

Sitecom has no Linux drivers or info on this device, so I guess
it is currently not supported by Linux, but I'm curious what it
would take to get this thing to work...
(see http://www.sitecom.com/products_info.php?product_id=292&grp_id=1 )

Mark.
