After installing the device driver for vga2usb, plug in the USB cable connected to the VGA2USB device and you should see the following message pop up in the system log file /var/log/messages:

    • edit the file /etc/modprobe.d/vga2usb.conf (copy from freeseer's download)
      • comment out the line "options vga2usb num_frame_buffers=2"
      • add the line "options vga2usb v4l_num_buffers=2" (note: v4l_num_buffers is from drvwrapper_lib.h)

Troubleshooting

After installing the device driver for vga2usb, plug in the USB cable connected to the VGA2USB device and you should see the following message pop up in the system log file /var/log/messages: 

Oct 24 11:08:30 f13 kernel: usb 1-3: new high speed USB device using ehci_hcd and address 2

Connect the vga connector on the VGA2USB device to an VGA output and run the freeseer application, you should see the following debugging messages:
