I have good news and bad news. The bad news is that I went by Fry's and
they wanted $10 and up for an adapter. The good news is I didn't buy
one. I say good news because I'm now learning a little about DVI & I
don't think an adapter is going to fix the problem. The DVI ports on my
new computer are DVI-D (Dual Link). Since apparently a DVI-D port is
digital only, I suspect that attempting to run that signal through a VGA
interface either would require a non-simple (& non-cheap) adapter or be
impossible.
It looks like the KVM box is going back (more bad news) & I buy a more
expensive KVM with DVI ports.
Any advice & comments by someone familiar with video and the DVI
interface will be gratefully accepted.
Thanks,
Mark Jarvis

you can probably stop by frys and get one pretty cheap. cant image it

I just ordered& received a TRENDnet 2-port USB KVM switch kit. I thought I
was OK on the video because its rated resolution is greater than what I'm
running.
What's the problem? It appears to only have VGA video ports and one of the
computers I be hooking up to it has only DVI. Is there such a thing as a
DVI-to-VGA adapter? Will I have problems using this unit with my computers?
I'm sure that the solution is simple,& I probably should know the answer,
but video is one area I have no expertise in.
Thanks in advance for any advice.
