External VGA card

[jman86]

Correction its ubuntu 12.04.1 LTS

Bus 001 Device 002: ID 17e9:0058 Newnham Research is missing after usb vga adpater comes unplugged

DisplayLink comes up when I did a search on "Newnham Research"

OK. When I google "17e9:0058" in combination with Linux or Ubuntu, not much shows up. That's a bad sign.

Next step:
make sure Ubuntu is running (unplug the USB VGA device it is connected),
open a terminal, and type 'dmesg'. Note the last line: remember / write down the number on the left.
Now plug in the USB VGA device. Type 'dmesg' again, and copy paste everything that happened since you plugged in the device. Post that info here.


And ... can you answer my question about plugging in a PCI VGA card ... ?

It dose not have a any PCI slots

That's all that dmesg shows? Nothing else?

If so, that doesn't look great. You could google that line to see if you find anything.

You could also dive into NDISwrapper (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NDISwrapper), but I'm not sure that is going to work.

Any other slots? ISA? VESA? PCMCIA?

What kind of system is it?

PS:

http://karuppuswamy.com/wordpress/20...-ubuntu-linux/ might be useful, but it's dmesg shows much more than yours ...
