Not sure, if the devices linked by you are supporte under Linux.

But there is some limited USB -> VGA support for Linux. At least for certain chipsets. I was considering setting up somthing like this for a Linux machine a while ago (not a Nokia IT) but quickly gave up on the topic.

Here some links
