Need a multi-video kvm switch

By netforce ·
Can anyone recommend a kvm switch that will allow me to hook up a regular vga and a DVI video output?

I've got an older Omni port kvm switch that just has the vga ports, I tried a vga adapter for my dvi cable but no signal.

Any suggestions appreciated.

Black Box

When in doubt for networking and switching equipment I take a look at what Black Box has to offer.

The above KVM is stated to support any mix of VGA or DVI signals, and even allows you to view multiple screens at once on the output.

Home Usage

You did not say it was for home usage, or I would have skipped Black Box. I know they are usually spendy.

Here is one at Newegg:

This one has much better user reviews:
