Subject: Running a Mac mini without a physical monitor
Hello everyone,
A while back there was a bit of a discussion regarding problems with the
DVD player initializing. This was because no monitor was connected to the
Mac mini.
Recently I had an old CRT monitor go bad. This unit was connected to my
Mac mini.
So, I decided to purchase a DVI to Composite or SVGA adaptor.
This adapter is around $19 and on one end it has the DVI connecter to
plug into the Mac and on the other end is a box with an RCA connecter and
a SVGA connecter.
I accessed the Video preferences and pressed the Find Display button and
the computer selected the correct driver.
The nice thing about this little item is that the computer is now happy
because it thinks it really has a screen connected to it. And it lets the
DVD player work just fine.
While I realize that most people will want a real monitor, I just thought
I'd mention this just in case someone would like to use this on a Mac
mini instead of purchasing another monitor.
