TRITON SEE2 Xtreme UV200 in Linux, Works!

I'm trying to install the Triton Technologies See2 Xtreme (sic) UV200 USB 2.0 External DVI/VGA Video card on a Debian Squeeze Box.
(Buy it from Amazon: Tritton SEE2 Xtreme, USB to DVI or VGA External Video Card, 1920x1200 resolution )


$ sudo lsusb -s 2:3
Bus 002 Device 003: ID 0711:0950 Magic Control Technology Corp. 

Forcing the kernel module to load and trying Xorg yields:

(II) Module sisusb: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
compiled for 1.7.6.901, module version = 0.9.3
Module class: X.Org Video Driver
ABI class: X.Org Video Driver, version 6.0
(II) SISUSB: driver for SiSUSB chipsets: SIS315E/PRO USB
(WW) Falling back to old probe method for sisusb
(EE) No devices detected.


Using this kernel compile howto, I then compiled linux kernel 2.6.37.1 with this simple patch.
And it works!!

(II) Module sisusb: vendor="X.Org Foundation"
