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:

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.
