Thank you too for helping out with the great info and developing udlfb!

I would buy an UGA-2K-A to support you, but I cant find a reliable 
supplier in Europa to transport to the Netherlands.

Done, see the attached log. (screen is green)

My xorg crashed when trying to use the device. Where can I find the 
latest Xorg driver I should use? My device is having a DL-195 chip.

I also attached an other 7" TFT but the EDID wasn't recognised either.. 
I took an quarantined microsoft windows xp laptop and installed the 
display link device to test it. The device worked, but not as I would 
expect, I could not get 1440x900 on DVI output only low resolotions, 
with VGA output I could set it to 1440x900 but the images would be a bit 
distorted. But I don't trust windows that much.. I was using a 5.2b2 driver.

Best regards,

With kind regards,
