I have a HP 2000 Notebook PC running Ubuntu 14.04.3. I have an external monitor and 2 USB/VGA connected monitors, one is a SIIG USB VGA and the other is J5create USB Display Adapter (athough I think they might have the same internals). Both work on Windows giving me 4 monitors. On Ubuntu, only the normal external VGA works, the USB VGAs do not.

I've searched and have found mostly 'not implemented for Linux', though with all the Linux propeller-heads out there it's hard to believe no one has a desire for a half-dozen or so monitors all at once! I did get this sort-of working with a lot of help on Slackware with a Displaylink USB 2.0 VGA, but at least I had a green screen to start with indicating that the OS was recognizing something. Any ideas/solutions out there? My lsusb is below.

I believe the USB/VGAs are devices 001:006 and 001:003.
