Is this UGA-3000 (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Plugable-Graphics-Multiple-2048x1152-1920x1080/dp/B00A2E1MQA?ie=UTF8&camp=1634&creative=6738&creativeASIN=B00A2E1MQA&linkCode=as2&redirect=true&ref_=as_li_tf_tl&tag=plugable-21) going to work on Ubuntu, with the new 1.1.62 if I don't have any other graphics card available?
I realise that the product listing says: "works by rendering graphics with your computer's CPU and GPU" but it also says "Requires Intel / AMD / Nvidia main GPU and up-to-date WDDM-compliant drivers for best perfromance and compatibility" so maybe I just won't get "best" performance if I fallback to fbdev X driver for linux.
I'll be running with USB PCI-passthrough in an ESXi guest. (This may be a useful deployment scenario, to provide physical display outputs for virtual machines).
