Standing desk (2)
=================

I decided to abandon the ODROID for  the standing desk. I have found my
old Intel Compute Stick with Ubuntu  and connected it into the DVI port
of the vp171s. After some repairs is booted and it even works.

There is  no screen rotation  problem - it  just works. The  problem is
that there is not  enough space to upgrade the OS  (there is the Ubuntu
14.04  which is  not supported  so it  should be  updated). The  second
problem is WiFi reception in the place of the desk. Signal is weak here
so connections are very  unstable. But this is not a  problem if the OS
is not updated  and insecure - I synchronised the  time and turned WiFi
off. I can turn  it on tust to transfer data which  should be enough, I
hope.

Now I'm going to find and install further stUff:

* a USB-VGA adapter and test if it can rotate image

* a USB sound card and connect my headphones

* a USB-serial adapter to connect Palm III cradle


By the way, I thought that the vp171 is excellent. But it shows its age
now - it is  not comparable with my current LCD  (the cheapest EIZO). I
spent one or two  hours if front of the vp171s and  it was not pleasant
for  my eyes...  It is  quite interesting  that I  never have  had this
problem with the (much older) SGI 1600SW screen.
