Engineering Project: Help

[USBEng]

Hey folks,

I am a student of Electrical Engineering and have to work on the following project for a company that is already under NDA contract with Display Link.

I am expected to create a test platform (hardware and software) where TFT Displays can be configured (parameters such as resolution, front porch etc.) over a software front-end.

I have already searched the web on USB Grpahics Controllers and found out, that Display Link offers an attractive chipset: the dL 1x5 series.
Due to the fact that my company already has a contract with DisplayLink, I am able to access Display Link's NDA information.

Now I have several questions, I hope someone of you can answer:

1) Is there a library provided by Display Link that allows me to modify configuration data? Or do I have to use Display Links software??
2) Is there a possibility of accessing display information directly: reading, writing, overwriting?
3) Does this controller suit my application or are there some restrictions that prevent me from using it in my application?
