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 suc
I have kind of an off-brand newegg special dvi kvm, and it literally has
dvi ports on it - not sure why yours isn't other than you got taken.
So dvi can do backward compatibility with vga supplying it on separate
pins, but you cannot use these on my dvi kvm - it doesn't have the pins
or holes.
My monitor has a 15 pin VGA port, as does the old computer so it looks
like an adapter to connect my DVI cable from the new box to the KVM
switch will make it work. Of course that brings up the question of what
am I losing by not using DVI?
A quick Google check (which I should have done earl
It's essentially analog vs. digital - more bandwidth, less interference,
no error detection/correction, etc. Probably not an issue still if
you're using *good* cables, but you just want to make sure no emi source
near will cause picture issues - not/shouldn't be an issue with dvi.
Quick googl
The simple answer is yes, Most graphics cards come with them now, but
you can probably stop by frys and get one pretty cheap. cant image it
would be more than 5 bux.

Prices are usually least expensive (have always been for me up to now),
even including shipping. Quality has been good with everything I've
bought there.
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 compute
I have dual link DVI output on my graphics card, and it worked fine
with the simple adapter.
I can look and see if i have a spare. 10 bux for that is ridiculous.

If I understand what I've been reading about the DVI interface,
without the 4 pins around the horizontal bar, there's no analog
output in the plug--see diagram. The DVI-D ones--which is what I
have on one machine--do not have the analog signal.
Interesting, Mark. Thanks for sharing this.

I dug out my spare video card and it has a
DVI-I port so I think that I'll try that.
I still don't know enough about this whole area,
so if anyone has anything to share, it would be appreciated.

go to plan b.
Because i do know they can do odd things with the pinouts from a card and
allot of graphics vendors make VGA something that can be at least connected
and used. so while it is supposed to be A, you can get B an
