I have a similar USB to VGA device that uses sisusbvga and am now having a problem with it in 10.04. It was working perfectly in 9.10 and 9.04. joel@disco2:~$ lsusb Bus 004 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 003 Device 002: ID 04f2:0111 Chicony Electronics Co., Ltd KU-9908 Keyboard Bus 003 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 002 Device 002: ID 09da:0006 A4 Tech Co., Ltd Optical Mouse WOP-35 / Trust 450L Optical Mouse Bus 002 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0001 Linux Foundation 1.1 root hub Bus 001 Device 004: ID 0711:0900 Magic Control Technology Corp. SVGA Adapter Bus 001 Device 001: ID 1d6b:0002 Linux Foundation 2.0 root hub So mine has a slightly different ID (compared to above entries) that did not need manually entered into the driver or anything like that to load. What is happening is that it loads fine at start up and appears to be working great until I start to manipulate a window on the display connected to the USB->VGA device. After doing this it will completely lock the machine up and freeze both displays while it shows the mouse cursor flickering and slightly moving back and forth. This does not happen *everytime* I do something on the usb display but it is happening consistently enough to make it completely unusable. When it happens I have to do a hard reboot. dmesg: [ 37.756772] usb 1-4: USB2VGA dongle found at address 4 [ 37.756894] usb 1-4: Allocated 8 output buffers [ 37.941613] usb 1-4: 8MB 1 ch/1 r SDR SDRAM, bus width 32 [ 40.410259] usbcore: registered new interface driver sisusb joel@disco2:/var/log$ cat Xorg.0.log | grep SISUSB (**) |-->Screen "Screen[SISUSBVGA]" (1) (**) | |-->Monitor "Monitor[SISUSBVGA]" (**) | |-->Device "Device[SISUSBVGA]" (II) SISUSB: driver for SiSUSB chipsets: SIS315E/PRO USB (II) SISUSB(1): SiSUSB driver (2005/09/28-1, compiled for X.org 1.7.2.0) (II) SISUSB(1): Copyright (C) 2001-2005 Thomas Winischhofer
