    Question Tritton USB VGA adapter not working.

    Even after reading many forum posts about people doing what I need done, I still can't seem to make xserver recognize that I have an external usbvga adapter. Below is what I have been trying.

    I have highlighted the adapter for your convenience.
    Code:
    $ lsusb

    modprobe
    This does nothing, but according to this, it is should turn on the monitor.
    Code:
    $ sudo modprobe sisusbvga
    xorg.conf
    Please note that I realize that this configuration will not enable the usbvga adapter. This is just my current setup that I had to go back to after failing.

    Any help would be much appreciated, I would be happy to paste some more console logs if needed.
    I'll just be sitting here mashing f5.

    There may to be a distro that implements support for the MCT 0711:5110 chipset found in your device... see here about MAXI: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?p=11239619
