I have an external USB video adapter (USB plug on one end, box with VGA connector on the other) – it's a Triton See2-UV150.

I was hoping it could be used as the only / primary adapter, but it does not seem to work that way. Just wanted to see if anyone knows if this device (or any other similar device) can be used as a display adapter for a machine to boot up?

Boxdog alluded to the answer. If the BIOS cannot the access the device using a generic VGA interface, then that device cannot be the PC's (primary) display. Maybe one day the typical BIOS will support a USB video adapter; I remember when PCs could not boot from a CD drive but now that is standard in every BIOS.
