I just installed this kernel and rebooted: 3.12.0-999-generic #201309190446 SMP Thu Sep 19 08:47:59 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux
Guess what. It worked (for the most part). The USB-VGA monitor showed up in Ubuntu's Display manager and I was able to run all 3 monitors at the same time. However, after adding this third monitor (using the SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro), my second monitor can no longer get 1920x1080 resolution. For them all to work at the same time I had to set the resolution like this: 1440 x 900 - Laptop's Native Monitory 1440 x 900 - Laptop's HDMI Port's External Monitor 1152 x 864 - SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro Monitor Before adding the SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro Monitor, I had the two monitors set like this: 1440 x 900 - Laptop's Native Monitory 1920 x 1080 - Laptop's HDMI Port's External Monitor The SIIG USB 2.0 to VGA Pro is capable of higher resolutions, but when I choose them, my other two monitors turn off. Likewise, if I turn my HDMI monitor back up to 1920 X 1080 it turns off. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1227833 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.
