Hi Felix -
Go back to the original set of questions that started this ... My
FreeDOS machine is plugged into a KVM switch which supports only VGA and
PS2. In the near future - 6 months or so - that KVM must be upgraded to
support HDMI displays and USB keyboard/mouse. In order to continue
using the FreeDOS machine, it also must support HDMI display and USB
keyboard/mouse.
I could put it on a dedicated display, but there is no place in the
house to set it up that way. The FreeDOS system has to live on my
computer rack.
I was leery when I bought the adapter, but I figured for $10 it was hard
to go far wrong. It was worth a try.

But that is, in fact, what happens with the adapter I have.

I plugged it into an HDMI monitor and the VGA output of my FreeDOS
machine. When I booted the computer, the monitor said "No signal". I
tried a few different ways to power it, just in case, but nothing. Then
I plugged it into one of my Linux machines that was running at 1080p,
and the monitor came right up.
The HDMI monitor I was using also has a VGA input. I switched the
FreeDOS machine to that port and it came right up.
That ad does say [quote]resolutions up to 1920x1080[/quote], so there must be a
problem somewhere with your particular components, and/or the product, that
640x480 gets you only black.
Not counting TVs, I currently have 10 working computer displays. Not one lacks a
VGA input, and only one (LG) of my 6 flatscreen TVs lacks one. How did you
manage
to not have one? :p
