Title:
  No Driver - SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro

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.
