So it seems that i dont get around to install Windows only for testing 
the VFD. Hmpf!

Yes, but they really suck (sorry), the only sentence you hear at any 
question about Linux: "We are afraid that we dont support this.". Not a 
bit of information. Btw the same at zalman.co.kr.

If i would knew this before i wouldnt buy this case.

I know what you mean ;) Yes, ist the only thing connected to USB at all. 
Unfortunately its at the internal plugs at the mainboard, so i dont want 
to 'hotplug' it like normal USB-Plugs because i'm afraid of some 
shortcuts or such things...

But nevertheless maybe i have to...
