Modern DisplayLink devices/adapters work best (i.e. Displaylink Doublesight DS-90U) and can drive a monitor up to 1920x1200 in 16bit color. X11 desktop is useable as long as an efficient window manager is used (fluxbox is best) and web browsing works with a lightweight browser like Midori, uzbl, or dillo.

I'm not expert but if its ringing when you get an incoming call but you cant answer it then your work firewall is filtering the UDP voice traffic (RTP) for incoming calls. With Asterisk the signalling (SIP) can go over TCP or UDP but voice always goes over UDP and firewalls will not normally allow incoming UDP unless there is a static route or there was a recent outgoing TCP or UDP connectioby petergunn - Debian
I think it should be something like... vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 The commands in /etc/rc.local run as root so the config will come from /root/.vnc rather than a user home directory. If you want to run the commands as a regular user you would need to do something like: su user -c 'bash --login -c "vncserver :0 -geometry 1024x768 -depth 16 > /tmp/vnc.log 2>&by petergunn - Debian
Easiest way is to put the command in /etc/rc.local before the "exit 0" line. On boot it will be started as root after all the services have started up. -PGby petergunn - Debian
FYI - I picked up a DL-195 device (SainSonic UG19D1) that was going cheap. It works with my 1920x1200 monitor and a basic fluxbox display is quite functional and Midori can render complex webpages full screen without too many problems. Unfortunately the dockstar's usb port cannot supply enough power to run the device directly which is a little disappointing as it has not problems drivingby petergunn - Debian

good news - zd1211 chipset works great on dockstars steps: 1) update to Gorgone's kernel 2) install firmware v1.4 3) configure /etc/network/interfaces & reboot or... try the scripts I used on my dockstars (see: http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/lcd/) As root: 1) install Gorgone's kernel (includes zd1211 driver) wget http://jeff.doozan.com/debian/lcd/setup_kernel.shby petergunn - Debian
Yes, those adapters should allow your dockstar to run X11 on your 42" 1080p HDTV. A few things to consider: - the Linux/Debian display link drivers only support 16bit color (you'll probably never notice though) - the drivers & xorg.conf config can be non-trivial to set up the first time - the dockstar's 128Mb memory limits X11 - you can have a usable fluxboxby petergunn - Debian
Its possible some of these might have SIS USB2VGA chipsets that would work under debian but there is no way of knowing, and if they did work the output will be slow and jumpy. Best to find a displaylink device - they should be easy to find. One with DL-195 chipset is probably best, although it may be overkill for an old LCD. -PGby petergunn - Debian
Should be. You would need a USB->HDMI (or VGA or DVI depending on what inputs your TV has). Adapters with Displaylink chips work best although you can find the old USB2VGA adapters quite cheap now. No sound though - you would need a different adapter/cable for that. Some older 1.8" picture frames are hackable to use as a display but they can be hard to find and it can be (near) impossby petergunn - Debian
The dmesg+lsusb output resemble a hackable device but the fwimage-seg0.bin does not look like a valid firmware segment. Were you logged in as root when you dumped it? Its possible your device has a different memory layout or firmware build without a known hack. -PGby petergunn - Displays
Agreed. My 4 dockstars have been humming along happily for months. Other than tweaking the asterisk config when Google messes with Google Voice I haven't had to touch them at all :-) -PGby petergunn - Debian
USB2VGA and most other options will be too slow for streaming video at any resolution unless its just a slideshow. USB2VGA makes a useable 1024x768 desktop though. Display link adapters are the most efficient option as they have some compression support that helps with the USB bandwidth limitations and they can handle streaming video from a regular PC (at lower resolutions) but the dockstar woby petergunn - Debian

Once you have have asterisk running you need a VOIP handset. This can be software running on your PC, a dedicated hardware VOIP telephone, or an adapter that converts a regular phone for VOIP use.
