Dears All ,

There are USB monitors , such as :

http://us.aoc.com/monitor_displays/e2251fwu



In FreeBSD , is there a possibility to attach such monitors for displays ?


My intention is to use Three such monitors to display

  . stdin
  . stdout
  . stderr

input - output values , with the regular display monitor in graphics mode
such as KDE4 .


This will allow to view background messages when the screen is occupied
with desk top
output .


My opinion is that during program development and testing such a setup will
be very useful .


If the above USB monitors can not be used , is there a possibility to use
devices such as
the following to be used as additional displays :

Any information about how to achieve such an operational setup will be
appreciated very much .



Thank you very much .
