Display Adapter

Greetings,
What's up dudes? I have MSI K7T266 Pro 2 motherboard and at the moment i have Gainward GeForce 2 MX/MX400 display adapter and very soon i have Asus GeForce 4 Ti4200 128 Mt display adapter. I'm a real bonehead when it comes to changing display adapter, can i leave this Geforce 2 MX/MX400 in the motherboard and install GeForce 4 Ti4200 on a different PCI slot?

Normally, I would agree wholeheartedly, however, in this situation, the drivers are the same. NVidia uses UDA, Unified Driver Architecture, thereby allowing the removal of one GeForce, and the installation of another exceedingly simple. I made a change from a GF2 to the current GF FX5200 by simply shutting down, swapping cards, and restarting.
As for adding a second display adapter to a system, if one is PCI, and the other AGP, it should work seamlessly. Even with the display adapters using the same exact chipset. It is not always successful, due to some limitations in the system, display adapters, operating system, or motherboard chipset. IRQ's can also create havok when trying this.
Unless there is a specific reason for wanting 2 seperate display adapters, I would just make the change from the GF2, to the GF4. If the GF2 is PCI, I would suggest getting an AGP GF4, not PCI. AGP will give better performance overall vs. PCI.
If you are simply wanting twin monitors, get a dual VGA AGP card. Just insure the AGP driver has been installed, which *should* happen automaticly with the VIA 4 in 1 drivers.

Mini DisplayPort to DVI + DVI to VGA Display Adapter, will it work?

Hi,
I have a MBP, and I have just purchased an apple Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter.
I want to connect it to a VGA port.
Can I buy an Apple DVI to VGA Display Adapter and connect it to the connector above.
Will that work? Any one with experience who could advise me on that?
Thanks.

This does not work, because the Mini DisplayPort to DVI adapter has a DVI-D port that transmits only digital signals. VGA uses analog signals.

VGA Display Adapter doesn't fit

I have a Intel Core 2 Duo imac and recently order/received the apple VGA Display Adapter-Gen ACCS to hook up another monitor. The problem is, it doesn't fit in my imac. The Apple store specifically says it is designed for Intel Core 2 Duo. What is the problem? Do I need another device to hook my 2nd monitor up?

you need this adapter: http://store.apple.com/us/product/M9320G/A
make sure you are plugging in the correct way.
I beleive you have the first gen Aluminum, correct? - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP16

HP Slate 500 and HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA)

The specifications page for the HP HDMI to VGA Display Adapter (NP031AA) (Link) doesn't list the HP Slate 500 as a compatible device in the campatible products list (Link).
Do these two products work together?
What VGA resolutions can I project using this cominbation of products? Am I limited to 1024x600? or 1024x768? or does it support displaying higher resolutions?
I'm thinking about making a purchase but I don't want to get the adapater if it isn't going to work.
Thanks,

Yes an HDMI to VGA adapter will work fine. Keep in mind it will not carry audio but neither did your old vga connection so I am assuming it is not a problem.
You would find an HDMI to VGA at any Best Buy or you can order on one amazon.com such as here:

Win 8.1, Clean Install, No AMD Display Adapter Found

I have a C55D-B5203 AMD basec Laptop. After a restore from backup failure, I had to do a clean 8.1 install. The recovery partition was damaged. Only the Microsoft Basic Display Adapter is found, not the AMD adapter. I have tried to install the Catalyst based driver, but that also doesn't detect the A600 adapter. What should I try next?

Essentially all the drivers and utilities at that site need to be installed for the laptop to operate as designed - and the order matters. You can stuggle with that if you have the time. I don't and would restore the hard disk to its original out-of-the-box contents using Toshiba recovery media.
If you failed to create recovery media, obtain it from Toshiba. Scroll down to Get Recovery Media here
See the instructions in the section Restoring from recovery media, which begins on p. 49 of the User's Guide.

VGA Display Adapter to HDTV

I purchased a VGA display adapter from Apple. I want to connect my iBook to a HDTV with HDMI interface. What cable do I need to connect the end of the adapter which appears to be a serial connector to the HDTV? Thanks for any assistance.

I would use the Apple mini-DVI to DVI adapter and then get a DVIU to HDMI cable from a local retailer. They are also available online from a ton of places - and probably at a lot lower price.
There really is no need to involve VGA when you would need another adapter to go from VGA to DVI, then the cable to go from DVI to HDMI. I would take that adapter to your local Apple Store and see if they would do an exchange for you.

Ancient ADC to mini display adapter

I would like to connect my (old) 17" flat panel studio display to my Powerbook Pro. Maybe all I need an adapter? The display male connector uses a single cable for all functions (power, USB etc) it is rectangular with rounded ends (.35" x 1.22). Part of the rectangle has 30 pins arranged in 3 rows of 10, the remaining part of the rectangle has a blade contact surrounded by 4 round pins. The round pins are all the same size. The total round pins is 34.
I see an adapter that is close, but its connector is a little shorter and has 3 rows of 8 pins (24) and no holes for the 4 pins that surround the blade contact. The Apple store people said this was an early version of the Apple ADC and adapters for it had been discontinued.
Any suggestions for hooking this up would be much appreciated. I consider myself a skilled constructor of kluge ups and posses excellent soldering skills, if it comes to that.

If the display uses ADC (Apple Display Connector)

you will need a DVI to ADC adapter

Trouble loading Mac driver for Display Adapter (connecting Mac to flat screen TV)

Howdy:
I'm trying to connect my Mac (OSX 5) to a flat screen TV. To do so I just bought a USB 2.0 to HDMI® Display Adapter w/ Audio (1920 x 1080). The mini CD containing the DisplayLink software drivers that came with the unit won't fit in my Mac CD drive. I then tried to download the correct driver from the DisplayLink website, "DisplayLink USB Graphics Macintosh Driver" which appears to be appropriate for OSX 5 (at http://www.displaylink.com/support/mac_downloads.php). This proceeds through the installation steps, then bombs out with the error message that "The following install step failed: run preinstall script for DisplayLink software. Contact the software manufacturer for assistance."
In the hopes of finding a compatible driver, I looked for an earlier version of the driver on the DisplayLink site, but couldn't find one.
Help!

Your 20" 2007 iMac has a mini-dvi video out. Forget about using usb and installing drivers and just use a mini-dvi to HDMI adapter and an HDMI cable instead.

2006 G5 display adapter where to buy?

anybody out there know where I can get/buy a display adapter for a late-2006 Intel powered iMac G5? Want to hook up my computer to my new HDTV but no HDMI ports on G5.

I have an IGO which I purchased a couple of years ago when the one that came with my powerbook burned up. I would recommend it and you can buy it on line. Much more substantial than the one that came with the powerbook. Try igo.com

Hi, Is there any way to force windows(7) to use my on-board display adapter, and stop it from using my PCIe\GPU?

Ask your computer's manufacturer, this depends on the BIOS setting of your motherboard. Windows Forms does not have any support for BIOS.

About the external display adapter...

I just purchased my iBook G4 on-line and finally got the external display adapter. I was wondering if there is a way to have the external display adapter on the laptop and functioning with the external display while the laptop screen is closed?
This would be similar to docking a laptop with other PC brands. When I get into my new apartment this will be useful as the laptop will be able to completely replace my Windows machine as the desktop unit that I can take with me. If this can be done, how do you do it?

Welcome to the Apple Discussions!
You should not use the iBook with the lid closed. Apple has never really said exactly why, but they clearly say not to do it here:

Display adapter randomly resetting

I'm having two issues which may or may not be related. My display adapter keeps resetting itself. Sometimes it works and I can continue working.other times I get a screen full of vertical lines and have to reboot. The computer will also not bout or run on battery power. If it's on and I unplug the a.c. adapter it well shut off. Any ideas on how to solve my envy dv7 issues? It's windows 8 that I'm currently running after doing a complete restore yesterday in the hope that if would solve the problem. If didn't.
This question was solved.

ACCER,
Thanks for getting back to me. In all honesty, it seems like the hardware is starting to go.
However, my last suggestion is to reinstall the operating system. This is because their may be a software or virus causing the issues you are describing. It's a long shot, but since you will need to back everything up anyway, you might as well do this.
First, please ensure you backup your files. Here is information on how to do this: Backing Up Your Files (Windows 8)
Once this is done, it is safe to reinstall the operating system. Performing an HP System Recovery (Windows 8)
If the same situation occurs, the computer likely has faulty hardware. At that point, please contact HP phone support, or take it to a local repair shop to get it evaluated.
If you appreciate the information I provided, please mark my posts with Kudos and "Accept as Solution"! It would be helpful to me, and help anyone else come across this information in the future.
I will look forward to your reply!

VGA Display Adapter; Extended Desktop?

I have a iMac G5 (iSight) and run the latest version of Mac OS X Leopard. If I buy a "VGA Display Adapter" will I be able to use my spare VGA display to extend my desktop? Or is the adapter strictly for mirroring?

Extending the desktop is disabled in firmware on an eMac, iBook, and PowerPC iMac.
