USB to VGA?

I was wondering if any one has experience with the following setup:

- Virtualized (Hyper-V) client running HS Touch (no problems to be expected here)
- USB ports exposed through a Belkin USB network HUB ( this works fine, I am using it now for over 2 years)
- VGA Touchscreen connected to a VGA to USB connector like this one: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-2-0-to ... reen-34756

The thing that worries me the most is: will the USB hub be able to support the required throughput that comes with VGA.

Anyone ever tried this before?

Thx!

Mixed replies. Envers test indicates it works with the Belkin hub ( the one I have) but other tests shopw diferent results, possibly because of the type of USB port (1.1 instead of 2.0).

The belkin network hub supports 5-USB2.0 ports so this looks promissing. I think I'll just give it a go and order a USB to VGA adpater from ebay or deal extreme. They are cheap and it is worth the experiment. I'll post my reveiw results here.

Thanks
