VGA CONNECTION (gigabyte GA-Z77-DS3H)

[arlon]

Good day everyone, I have quite a problem which I need to solve.

I have (connected to a VGA splitter):
- a VGA projector
- a secondary VGA screen

Considering that there's no way I'm going to change both items, I've been looking for a way to get the MB video signal to work on a VGA connection.
What I did was connecting these 3:
HDMI (which is supposed to work) to minidisplayport <----> double female minidisplayport connector <----> minidisplayport to VGA (same converter which works on apple notebooks)

The result? No useful signal to the monitor.

What can be done? I absolutely need to find a way to get VGA signal out.. otherwise, no OSX for me, I'm afraid
(which is a shame since I've built the whole machine around this OS)

This is the last obstacle between me and my hackintosh help!

VGA won't ever work.

Hello,

I've got an adapter from DVI to VGA and it is working fine

Great to know!
The problem is: the DVI out's already used by my main monitor (with dvi+displayport input, so no direct HDMI to this main monitor will be possible).

If DVI can be turned to VGA, won't there be a way to convert the signal from HDMI to VGA?

Update: I've bought the cheapest HDMI to DVI adapter; when it'll arrive I'll check if it actually works
After that, I'll need a suggestion on a DVI to VGA converter which will work 100%.

Is there any actual difference between DVI->VGA adaptors?
Does anyone have any specific experience and/or brands or models to suggest?

Once again, thanks.
