	DisplayLink finally LGPLs its USB-to-VGA code


	Submitted by sverma on Sunday, May 17, 2009 - 21:54	Code \| Linux \| OLPC \| XO
	Yay! Finally, I can use my Thinkpad X300's USB dock to do all chores including VGA. I can also use it with my OLPC XO-1 hopefully. From http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/libdlo: "This is the official DisplayLink Library project, libdlo. This library is an open-source implementation of DisplayLink USB graphics software, and is licensed under the GNU Lesser General Public License (LGPL) v2.1. This library will discover and connect to DisplayLink USB graphics chips and allow for developers to support DisplayLink devices on Linux and other platforms. libdlo itself doesn't include any drivers or applications intended for end-users. libdlo currently supports the DisplayLink DL-120 and DL-160 chips (“Alex” family)."
