    Support for USB to VGA device

    I'm running Linux Mint 8 Helena (based on Ubuntu 9) and I bought this USB to VGA device. Of course it works with XP but when I re-boot to LinuxMint I get nothing on the external monitor.

    The device is a StarTech USB2VGAE2, if anyone has any suggestions how I can make this work it'd be much appreciated. I've searched online & can't find a driver.

    I bought it because the external VGA output on my laptop doesn't work.

    I can be found either 40 miles west of Chicago, or in a galaxy far, far away.

    I don't know if your dongle will work, but here is a web site that might help. FWIW, the host of the site, berlios.de, does good work with Linux support. Linux UVC driver & tools

    Thanks Rubberman, unfortunately that site says they're not supporting output devices at this time. My device is output only, but thanks for helping out

    That's what happens when one does a quickie google search and then not bother to read the fine print! Oh well. Good luck.
