Switching from vga to dvi?

[roshan45]

Hi,

I have a dvi port on my display adapter, and a dvi port on my lcd display...But when I connect the dvi cable to them I get nothing! All new one and I have applied multiplexed cables! Any ideas on which I do wrongly?......Vga works fine!

Do not use ConnectedMonitor. Try using UseDisplayDevice instead of CRT . This will tell the driver to use a CRT when one is detected, and it'll fall back to its normal logic if there isn't one. Then you should be able to use the display configuration page in nvidia-settings to switch display devices.

DVI output is better qualitative than that of the VGA output simply because DVI's are digital, although VGA analogous. Pictures generated by High-definition TV's are matched digital pixel by the pixel in their panels, and they may section these by their DVI ports. The graphic display cards of a computer reads and generates a computer figure as digital and converts it as an analog signal when by a VGA output by signalled. A screen with a VGA can benefit from output clearly, more graphical figures of HIGH definition television become when signals by a VGA to DVI converter box affluent.
