Ah darn, but at least it should work for presentations or
slideshows...and maybe pong :) if drivers support partial updates.
Here are some framerate estimates -- feel free to correct me if anything
looks off:
(most devices mention USB 2.0, hopefully they also work with USB 1.1)
QVGA: max: 13 FPS.
Assuming QVGA is supported in hardware/driver.
one of rasterman's earlier mails mentioned QVGA
is about 320*240*1.5bytes per frame
640x480x8bit, max: 5 FPS
Some devices mention this mode (640x480x8bits)
Note: USB 1.1: max: 12 Mbit/sec or 1.5 MBytes per sec
Here are some resources I found quickly while looking around. If
anybody tries one with the neo or freerunner, let us know.

Hello,
what i ever want to know:
could it be possible - to connect the Freerunner with a external VGA
Display or Beamer ?
Because that would be pretty useful for small presentations or so...
basically... no.
u may try a usb vga out but it'll be slowwwww - usb1.1 only. so basically - no,
not without extra external hardware and even hen... dubiously useful.
PS
