2023-07-02 Thread Robert Moskowitz
Switching to direct HDMI works.  System recognized the HDMI immediately. I am going to have to shop for an affordable HDMI KVM.  Previously I always had one old system that was VGA only.  No longer, so it is off to ebay for a good and cheap KVM. Sigh. thanks all. On 7/2/23 08:28, Robert
