VGA to USB, possible?

Hello all,
I just bought a Video jockey to watch tv on my imac, and it uses vga cables. Is there an adaptor that converts vga to usb/firewire? What are my options, is this possible? Thanks,
Bob

Do you mean an adapter to plug the VGA connector into the iMac's DVI out? This would require this : http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71007/wo/JM4NwyI pXj0d3Jp2zo82k7u5btU/1.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3
Do you have the product page of the Video Jockey? So I can get a better idea of what you are trying to do.
I use Eye TV for watching tv on my iMac- it connects with a supplyed FW400 cable and has DVD quality video and DVR functions. (http://store.apple.com/1-800-MY-APPLE/WebObjects/AppleStore.woa/71007/wo/JM4NwyI pXj0d3Jp2zo82k7u5btU/5.0.19.1.0.8.25.7.11.0.3)

Connecting MAC Air to Projector - which is better, hdmi, vga or usb?

HDMI is thje preferred digital replacemnt for older analog video standards, which your other choices use. It offers far higher signal and definition quality.
Apple has an adapter that is used with your Thunderbolt port/ Mini DisplayPort, if yours is equipped as such.
I've not had a problem with this. It is a Belkin.

As far as I know something like this is not possible. Maybe on some business notebooks like Tecra or Portege, but not on Satellite L series.

Hi
I think it should be possible.
This notebook supports an Phoenix BIOS. Am I right?
In such case these boot options should be available:
USB FDD, HDD, ODD, Network(LAN), USB Memory
Try to select the USB and check if you can see the further option.

Booting from USB possible?

I have an 845 PE at home and the last time i looked at the bios for boot order, there was no choice for USB.
I have some applications at home that require older versions of OS'es and my thoughts were to install Win 95 on a USB harddrive and boot from it.
Do any of the newer versions of BIOS support this function?
Thanks.

Maybe, But I do indeed Doubt it , As this is More of a "Hardware" Issue with the Chipset then a BIOS Issue.......But I am Not Completely 100% Sure on your 845 Board...Maybe one of the Moderators has better Insight.......Sean REILLY875

Internet through USB possible?

Is it possible to have internet on ipod touch with the lan connection on a pc (or mac for other people)
If so, how?
If not, why not?
(I want to use this internet WITHOUT WiFi)

I don't think 3g is needed, i saw people do it without it. Its also not useless, because you don't allways have the rights on a computer to create a wifi hotspot, so a cabled connection is needed to update your agenda, games, news and other data without having the rights to download itunes on THAT pc. This could be the case at work or at school.
So, does anyone know why it can't be done without 3G? Why is this not a optional extra?

Is KVM VGA Passthrough Possible on Macbook Pro Mid 2014?

I've been using Arch on and off for a couple years on different hardware, and this time I'm trying to get it to work semi-flawlessly on my mid 2014 Macbook Pro. My Linux skills are meager, so I need some help understanding if VGA passthrough is possible on this machine, and if it is, how to set it up. I have hope that it might work after reading this blog and the Arch forums. An outline of my current setup follows. I will also document progress and research for anyone who might want to try this in the future.
Here are the specifications for this machine:
Processor: 2.5 GHz Intel Core i7
Memory: 16 GB 1600 MHz DDR3
Graphics: Intel Iris Pro 1536 MB, Nvidia GT 750M 2 GB
I have successfully dual-booted Mac OS X Yosemite and Arch with EFI on a btrfs partition using this blog and the wiki as starting points. Somlo's research also helped. All the basic functionality works (networking, WiFi, etc.), and I am able to boot the physical Arch partition as a Virtualbox VM with the help of the wiki. However, I'm having trouble with getting the integrated Intel graphics to work. The following command:
lspci | grep VGA
prints the Nvidia card specifications, and nothing about the Intel graphics.
Reading this blog, it looks like someone had to apply a "grub gmux" patch to grub to disable the Nvidia card at boot. I feel uncomfortable installing anything other than the official Arch packages, so I have to know if installing a patched grub is still necessary, and if installing it would still allow me to use VGA passthrough in KVM.
My ambitious to-do list looks like this:
1. Dual-boot Mac OS X and Arch with btrfs. -done
2. Setup the physical Arch partition to boot in Virtualbox. -done
3. Get Intel graphics to work on Arch ideally with OpenGL support. -done
4. Get Enlightenment working as the desktop environment on Arch. -done
5. Get Qemu+KVM to boot off the physical Mac OS X partition. -tbd
6. Enable VGA passthrough for Mac OS X from Qemu+KVM. -tbd
7. Install Windows as a VM in Qemu+KVM. -tbd
8. Enable VGA passthrough for Windows from Qemu+KVM. -tbd
9. Work and do research on Mac OS X from Arch, play hardcore 3D games on WIndows from Arch, play around with Arch, and live happily ever after. -tbd
Can anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance for any hints/input.
Edit:
The Ubuntu forums has something about getting the two graphics cards to be recognised by using `refind` instead of `grub`. I was able to set up `refind` to boot using the `efi-stub`, but:

still only shows the Nvidia card. The boot options suggested by this blog did not change anything. However, this very helpful discussion led me to this on-going project. I patched the kernel according the instructions in the said project's `readme`, and Arch is now able to see the two graphics cards and an extra Intel audio controller.

Also, I was able to fire up Enlightenment using the Intel graphics card and `0xbb`'s `gpu-switch` script. After using some post-installation tips from this, the computer started getting hot. I followed this thread to get it back to normal.
Edit:
So I finally got some time to experiment on this. I ended up installing Gnome 3 after trying out Enlightenment, KDE Plasma 5, and Cinnamon. I thought Gnome 3 and Cinnamon had the best Hi-DPI support of those four. Cinnamon's look was too much trouble for me to configure, so I ended up choosing Gnome 3.
To achieve the graphics card passthrough, I tried setting up and starting a VM in `virt-manager`, but starting the VM would cause Arch to freeze. Finally, I tried following the instructions on the wiki, this thread, and the Arch forums. I haven't yet tried booting the Windows installer, but the following are the steps I took so far:
1. Uninstall all `nvidia` drivers from my system.
2. Blacklist the `nouveau` driver.
3. Add `pci-stub` to the modules array in `mkinitcpio.conf`.
4. Recreate the `initramfs`.
5. Add `intel_iommu=on pci-stub.ids=10de:0fe9,10de:0e1b,8086:156c` to the `refind.conf` `options` line.
- These three IDs are ones for the Nvidia graphics, Nvidia sound, and the "Intel Corporation Device" (probably the HDMI port, or something related to the
ethernet card), which belong to the same "IOMMU group". What was curious was that a Gigabit ethernet controller would appear in the IOMMU group iff I had
an ethernet cable connected to my thunderbolt port. I don't know if I have to add the ID for this, but so far there are no complaints about it in `dmesg`.
6. Install `ovmf-svn` from the AUR.
6. Follow the "Binding a device to vfio-pci" section documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768.
7. Follow the "Testing if its working out" section documented at https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=162768.
So far, the test at step 7 is failing -- I get a `vfio-pci 0000:01:00.0: Invalid ROM contents` complaint in `dmesg`, and I see a prompt in the `qemu` window. I'm supposed to be getting a black `qemu` window, and a prompt on an external monitor which I haven't connected yet. I read the comments on this blog about graphics card ROM and EFI compatibility, and it looks like my graphics card ROM can't be read. I also read that the graphics card ROM would only be read once by qemu/KVM and saved as a file for later use, so all I need to do to get around that is pass a snapshot of the ROM of the Nvidia GT 750M card to qemu/KVM. Apparently, "You can download the 750m rom files directly from Lenovo's website on the support page" according to this thread, but all I see is this. I will continue hunting around for a ROM file for this graphics card.

It`s not beacuse of the case. I have the same problem with a macbook pro retina 15 late 2013 (I7 - 2.3 Ghz, 16 GB, 512 SSD, GT750M) with windows 8.1 on bootcamp. The temperature is higher than yosemite. It gets easily at 80 celsius in a demanding game, while on yosemite it barely reaches 55-60 under heavy load. It`s beacuse of windows, and these are the temperatures, I got the same average 55-60 in windows and 45 celsius in yosemite. I read on the forums and I tried evend with a cooler pad. But it doesn`t seem to be any improvement with lowering the temperature in windows.

I have a 27" IMac. I want to add additional monitors to it. There is a vga slot for the first monitor. I would like to add a second monitor but there is not another via slot. Is there an adapter I can get for via to usb?

Here's the problem I am trying to research for you...
There does exist a way to add a second monitor via USB:
USB 2.0 to HDMI Audio Video 1080P Adapter for Windows and Macbook
It's the only device I know of that can do that. The problem is that it wants a HDMI connection. So that means a HDMI-to-VGA adapter or converter needs to be found (not VGA-to-HDMI, those are easier to find).
Interesting article realted to this:
Hdmi to vga adapter
Maybe somthing like this converter will work.

Second monitor using VGA to HDMI or alternative?

Hi,
I recently purchased a HP ENVY TouchSmart 15-j038tx Notebook PC.
I have a Dell monitor, which only uses the VGA output.
I have a sony vaio VGA to HDMI adapter, and I tried this adapter with the monitor, it worked fine. I was able to use the monitor as second screen.
However, when I use the same adapter on the HP computer, the second monitor is black and do not get recognised.
Can someone please helpe me!!!!
Do I need to buy a new VGA to HDMI that's specifically built for HP computers?
Or
Do I need to download some drivers to make this work? I just updated the computer with the drivers as I purchased this only a few weeks ago.
or
Do I need to get a different adapter? like VGA to USB? Is there such a thing?
The Dell monitor is about 5 years old, but if it works on my Sony Vaio Pro 13 Laptop that just got released, I don't see why it won't work on the HP too.
Many Thanks

There is a possibility that all you need to do is go into the display properties of the HP and have it look for the adapter.
First the model number of the HP and then the Windows version that is installed, please.

2006 macpro possibly using imac g5 as monitor

As mentioned I have a 2006 macpro, it has a 5770 graphic card, I also have an old (in great condition) imac g5. I would like to use the g5 as a monitor via a vga connection. Now, the 5770 has a mini display port and the g5 has a display port, okay, I do have a vga for both as well as a vga cable.
I have heard that this is not possible due to incompatibility. I would appreciate any feedback and/or direction
Thanks Gary

Hmmm, my underrstanding of target mode is where one can access/open, computor a's files from computor b. This I understand, is done by connecting either a firewire or, usb cable between the two machines and hitting the T key.
What I am looking to do is, connect machines a/b via a VGA cable thereby possibly allowing one to open video in the other machine.
Are you saying this will not happen?
That being the case, why do we have a display port conection in the back of the imac g5? this is kinda confusing

Is it possible to connect two external monitors to my T400 laptop?

Hi,
I bought a T400 laptop this summer and have it connected through the VGA port to an external monitor, using both the laptop´s monitor as an extended display. I would like to add a third monitor. I am wondering if there is any way to do this or anyone knows further, even if some additional hardware is required. There is no HDMI port on the laptop of course but I´m wondering if some sort of VGA splitter is possible. Any thoughts are appreciated!
Best wishes.

The GPU(s) in your T400 (and most other laptop brands) will support two different displays concurrently. If you want to support more than two different displays concurrently, you will need another GPU external to the T400.
Generally, if you want to use two external displays on a T400 you will nee dto use a docking station.
I have read messages on various fora on this topic and know that there are a number of ways of doing this, but as I have never had a need to do this myself I can't tell you how to go about it.

T500 XP 32 - 2 external monitors - one in VGA-out & one in DisplayPort ? (1920x1080 & 1280x1024)

I searched and found some information... but the information wasn't specifically clear, so better to find out for sure, and help archive some clear information for the community...
I'm looking at attaching 2 external LCD monitors to my T500 (2082-3HU). OS is XP 32bit.
One will be a 19" 1280x1024,    and the other will be a 27" 1920x1080.
Plan is to connect 1 to the VGA-out and 1 to the DisplayPort.
First.. will this work?
Second.. which is better to attach to which port? (and why?
and
Third.. what are the maximum resolutions that the VGA and DIsplayport ports can provide?   Does it matter if it's VGA or DVI?
I was going to get a USB to video adapter for $50+, and then remembered the DisplayPort!    If it will work, it's a great way to save some money, get much better video res. and speed, and keep a USB port free.

Here are two posts I found ... (they appeared out of no-where)
you can connect two external WUXGA (1920x1200) monitors to the T500 using both the VGA and displayport connectors.   no other hardware is needed besides the display cables.

use a Lenovo usb2dvi converter and the displayport to dvi converter.
This will allow you to use 2 external WUXGA monitor. If you need to support more WUXGA monitors, then you just need to get more Lenovo usb2dvi converter, up to a maximum of 6 (maybe slightly less i can't remember) using the integrated gpu.
