• Spec : chipset unknown
• lsusb gives : 0711:5001
• Need USB 2.0

The unit is from MCT, the UVT-100 (see http://www.esysmall.com/detail_prod.asp?prod_Id=5544 ) one.

Download

• The original source code driver (GPL)

• The alpha source code driver  : does compile with a 2.6.22 linux kernel but does not work

Unpack

Go to your /linux source directory. Untar the mcttrigger archive in drivers/usb/misc

Compile

• Add the line :

source "drivers/usb/misc/mcttrigger/Kconfig" in the file linux/drivers/usb/misc/Kconfig

• go to include/linux directory and

cd /usr/src/linux/include/linux
ln -s autoconf.h config.h

• Then on the linux source directory,

make menuconfig

and choose Device Support>>USB Support add the USB VGA MCT support as a module

Exit and Save the new configuration

• compile:

cd /usr/src/linux
make drivers/usb/misc/mcttrigger/triggerusbvga.ko

Install

If there is no sisusbvga0 device file on /dev, type as root:

mknod /dev/sisusbvga0 c 180 133
mknod /dev/sisusbvga1 c 180 134
mknod /dev/sisusbvga2 c 180 135
mknod /dev/sisusbvga3 c 180 136
mknod /dev/sisusbvga4 c 180 137
mknod /dev/sisusbvga5 c 180 138
mknod /dev/sisusbvga6 c 180 139
mknod /dev/sisusbvga7 c 180 140
chmod 660 /dev/sisusbvga*

insmod the new driver, if your running kernel matches the linux source only, otherwise there will be a magic version issue.

You have to install the sisusb Xorg driver too, package name: xserver-xorg-video-sisusb

Configure the xorg.conf by modifying the device section:

Section "Device"
        Identifier "SiS USB2VGA"
        Driver     "sisusb"

Bugs

The alpha version does not work. Currently the Xorg.0.log would show this error :

The dongle is detected, but it seems that the sisusb_drv.c should be modified ?
