dvi port on laptop
 

well my laptop has a dvi port on the back of it. well i bought a dvi to vga port that i used to use with my old desktop and it wont fit on there. Is there diffrent types of dvi ports?

Yeah, I do believe so.

So the dongle won't fit on the laptop? Are they both male or both female???

I believe there is such a thing as a mini-DVI port. Not too sure though. You can probably find adaptors for it.

-- edit --

Is it a powerbook? The mini-DVI seems to be a mac product.

Mini-DVI to VGA

In case you wanted to buy one.

this is the same size as the normal dvi port......the little flat prong just aint as wide as the one i have. maybe i should recharge my digitals batterys and take a pic of it.

there are 3 types of DVI.

DVI-I
integrated, supports both analog transmition and digital transmition


DVI-D
digital only


DVI-A
analog only
