The software can be installed from the extras-devel repository. Either or both of the following packages can be installed, click on the package name to install:
sisbit
- this installs the image display program
xsisusb
- this installs the X-server
When either package is installed, sisusbvga
, will be installed automatically. This package loads the Linux kernel driver on each boot.
If you want to avoid loading the kernel driver on every boot (which uses some of the system RAM), you can edit /etc/default/sisusbvga
and disable the automatic loading by specifying:
SISUSBVGA_ENABLE=false
In this case, the kernel driver must be loaded manually when the device is attached. Load the driver by issuing the following command, as root:
insmod /mnt/initfs/lib/modules/2.6.21-omap1/sisusbvga.ko
