SJ, the fact you didn't manually configure it, doesn't mean there's not a 
configuration in place. You should really try to look up for a port 
configuration and use the _new_ method, I and Derek described.

Nevertheless, if you insist on using the old method (or the client doesn't 
support the new one), you should load the 'visor' module. 

sudo modprobe visor

To make this permanent after reboots, you should include the word visor in the 
file /etc/modules, in a new line. 

echo visor | sudo tee -a /etc/modules
