Kind Regards

I don’t like your chances at all regarding Linux support for such a device, but anyway you should start by reporting the chipset

lsusb

or even better if you do

usb-devices

and when the device is plugged in what is reported by

dmesg|tail

Sorry for the super long code this is what all three commands did

The device is associated with the sisusb graphics driver.

This is encouraging too

When you have the device plugged in, not what is reported by

xrandr --verbose

It might be just that some manual configuration is necessary. (No promises from me though.)

if so how do i program it ?

No, that just relates to the virtual screen set up by Xorg. The usb device does not appear to be active.

Let’s see if it recognised via

xrandr --listproviders
xrandr --listproviders
Providers: number : 1
Provider 0: id: 0x44 cap: 0xb, Source Output, Sink Output, Sink Offload crtcs: 3 outputs: 2 associated providers: 0 name:Intel

This is what came up with the command

Well, it’s not reported there, and I don’t have any experience with these devices, beyond what little I’ve read. So, I can’t offer any more help, except to suggest reading the blog that I linked to, and maybe a bit of googling.

For example
