HMDI to DVI won't work with KVM switch
I am using a Mac Mini with Intel HD Graphics 3000 to connect to DVI based KVM(keyboard, video, monitor) switch. The swich allows me to use the same monitor between different computers. I am using the HDMI-to-DVI adapter that came with my Mac mini. However, several KVM switches do not see the Mac mini although I can directly connect it to the monitor with no prob. I am using DVI-D cables and the same resolution settings as my other computers(1280x1024 at 60Hz, 32bit color). I am connecting into a Hall Research DVS-4A KVM switch.
I would like to set up an extended display and have not tried a Thunderbolt-to-DVI adapter yet since the HDMI port is not working with the KVMs I have tried. I believe the Mac Mini is HDMI 1.4 compliant if that helps.
thoughts?
thanks,
Steve
