I've done some more digging around, and I have some more information. I'm sure it will be obvious to some, but it's all new to me
.
The
v0000 p0000
ID refers to vendor and product, with
v0711
being
Magic Control Technology
(MCT) and
p0900
the USB to VGA adapter used by
StarTech
for the USB2VGA2. So the ID of
v0711 p1000
for the USBVGADOCK indicates another MCT product.
Looking at
Thomas Winischhofer's
source for the USB2VGA driver, there is a structure in his file
sisusb.c
(around line 3489) which I believe defines the the IDs it responds to. These are:
0711 0900
182d 021c
182d 0269
The first we know, of course: the other two are
SiteCom
products which presumably use the same chip.
I imagine that if we add
0711 1000
to this structure, then the driver will respond to the USBVGADOCK. We don't know if it uses the same chip (
SiS315
), but its spec is the same as the USB2VGA2, so I'd say it's a good bet
.
Graham - would you be able to make this alteration to the driver so that we can try it?
