Lonnie Lee Best, this bug was reported a while ago and there hasn't been
any activity in it recently. We were wondering if this is still an
issue? If so, could you please test for this with the latest development
release of Ubuntu? ISO images are available from
http://cdimage.ubuntu.com/daily-live/current/ .
If it remains an issue, could you please just make a comment to this?

Title:
No Driver - SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro
Status in The Linux Kernel:
Unknown
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
Incomplete
Bug description:
My laptop is a Dell Studio 1737/0P792H, BIOS A09 04/14/2011.
With the goal of extending my laptop to support two external monitors
(instead of one), today I purchased a USB to VGA adapter:
SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA PRO (JU-VG0012-S1)
http://www.siig.com/usb-2-0-to-vga-pro.html
This USB VGA adapter doesn't seem to work at all. Right now, it is
plugged into a monitor that is powered on and I have the USB cable
connected to both the device and my laptop, but the Laptop is acting
like the device isn't there and Ubuntu's Display-Setting-Confg-Utility
is unable to detect the external monitor. This issue persists reboots.
A Little Background (reason for purchasing):
You'd think this laptop alone would already support two monitors,
because it has both HDMI and VGA ports. However, I've confirmed that
its built-in video card (and driver) only have the ability to display
to one of these ports at a time; they're mutually exclusive. Ubuntu's
Display settings utility does show the two monitors when I have both
ports plugged up, but any attempts to display, to both, fails with a
dialogs that weirdly flows down my screen while Ubuntu tries to
automatically attempt to make it work at numerous resolutions. This is
why I purchased the SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro. I thought it would have
its own little video card built-in, and give me what my laptop's own
video card lacked. I realize that USB will be slower, but that's not a
concern for the simple business application that I intend to display
on a 3rd monitor.
