The title basically has the question...
"i have a dvi to usb adapter. Can i use that to extend my Mac OSX Desktop?"
Will i need extra drivers, or have to download some type of support software for it to owkr, or will it not work at all?
Thanks!
iMac, Mac OS X (10.6.8), Late 2006 Model
What type of Display, TV or Device are you trying to connect to your Late 2006 iMac..?
i have a samsung led screen i want to connect. 26"
If the Samsung monitor has a DVI connection, then you will need Apple's Mini-DVI to DVI adapter and a DVI cable.
see > Apple Mini-DVI to DVI Adapter - Apple Store (U.S.)
If the Samsung monitor is older and only has a VGA connection, then you will need Apple's Mini-DVD to VGA adapter and a VGA cable.

That is all, no drivers should be required for that setup.
can i not use an exsiting dvi to usb connection?
No because the Late 2006 iMac does not have a DVD port, it has a Mini-DVI video output port.
Beside that, the Mini-DVD to DVI connection will give you higher resolution, no lag time and a lot less trouble.
