[Bug 1227833] Re: No Driver - SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro
** Description changed:
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, it doesn't seem to work at all. Right now, it is
+ 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 it simply isn't there and Ubuntu's Display Setting Utility is
unable to detect the external monitor and 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.
