Usb Vga Display Adapter Driver Linux

To install your USB video adapter in Ubuntu 15.0 (kernel 3.16), you need to download the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) package and the adapter driver. During this time, your display might flicker, but this is normal behavior.

To install your USB video adapter in Ubuntu 15.0 (kernel 3.16), you need to download the Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) package and the adapter driver. To install the DKMS package, complete the following: • On your desktop, click the Ubuntu icon, type terminal, and then press Enter. • Type sudo apt-get install dkms, and then press Enter. When the DKMS package is installed, complete the following: • Download the latest drivers from the StarTech.com website (). You can find the part number and product ID on the product packaging.

Note: Ubuntu typically saves files to the Downloads folder that is associated with your user account (for example, ~/Downloads). • When the download is complete, open the zip folder that you downloaded and click and drag the Ubuntu folder to your desktop. • Click the Ubuntu icon, type terminal, and then press Enter. • Type cd ~/Desktop/Ubuntu, and then press Enter. • Type chmod 755 displaylink-driver.run, and then press Enter. • Type sudo./displaylink-driver.run, and then press Enter.

• When the driver package finishes installing, restart your computer. To restart your computer from the terminal window, type sudo reboot, and then press Enter. • When Ubuntu finishes restarting, connect the USB video adapter to your computer. Note: It can take several minutes to complete the installation. During this time, your display might flicker, but this is normal behavior. When the installation is complete, your Ubuntu desktop is extended to the additional monitor.

The Matrox DualHead or TripleHead might work for you. It’s not USB - it connects to the system’s video out.

The device tells the computer that you’re running an ultra wide display (3840 x 1080 for example) and then separates the video signal to each display connected. Since it’s a hardware solution it is as fast as your GPU (and even integrated graphics would be faster than USB) and should be OS agnostic for your Linux needs without the overall glitchyness of the USB devices.

Gxm/ Edit: looks like it needs to be set up under Windows, but after that it is good with Linux. Download whats app for nokia 2690. Been doing some digging and there is Ubuntu support for USB-VGA adapters based on the DisplayLink chip.

I expect some latency but this is 2D desktop stuff; I just need to montor some apps that track phone system status, etc. The DisplayLink sites mentions support only for certain versions of their chips though.

A lot of the ones you find at a reasonable price (less than 50 bux) are unsupported versions. I would rather go this direction instead of getting in the middle of buying an expensive video card and HOPE there is good support for it on Linux.
