Have any of you seen a 5000 series card with D-sub out?
I require the standard VGA out (D-Sub) for my KVM switch to work properly. I have been hoping for a card in the Radeon HD 5000 series to come to market, though I realize it is still early.

Though those do work, they cannot work properly with my KVM swith. What i mean is that those only work if I have the KVM focused on that specific PC when I turn it on. If the focus is on another PC, and I boot said PC up without the focus, when I switch to that PC I will not have a video signal.
It is a bug (in my opinion) with the KVM switch. But the way to work around it is to make sure all PCs connected to the switch are doing so via the D-Sub out. That way I can boot any PC at any time without regard to which PC currently has the KVM focus. Each one has a video signal upon switching from one PC to the next.

Here is one with D-Sub - Asus CuCore 5770

BTW, I have no problems with my KVM switch working through DVI to D-Sub adapters. Forgot the model of the switch, can tell you if you need.

My HP LP3065 has 3x Dual Link DVI inputs and a big button on the front labeled "input" that cycles through the inputs.
Basically you need to press this button once or twice at most to get the input you want if all 3 are connected.
One keyboard and mouse can be shared programmatically between multiple computers, depending on your operating systems you can use x2x (all linuxes), x2vnc (linux and windows) or win2vnc (all windows). All of them are free.

It's a DVI handshake issue, for sure. Many HTPC owners have had to resort to using a device called a DVI Detective to keep their video signal live to their display to solve this problem. I have the same issue with my Dell monitor, though using the same hardware and an older CRT monitor with a DVI-VGA adapter didn't suffer the same issue.Wedge wrote:Though those do work, they cannot work properly with my KVM swith.

Yes, share the make/model of your switch. And thanks for the link.micksh wrote:Here is one with D-Sub - Asus CuCore 5770

These are slowly trickling in now. as micksh pointed out, there is a 5770 made by Asus with a D-sub. I also spotted a 5750 with one at Newegg about 2 weeks ago.tehfire wrote:TechPowerUp
Looks like AMD will start introducing lower-end variants which should have VGA-out
Is DVI-Detective an additional piece of hardware (I am presuming that it is since you call it a device)?jhhoffma wrote: It's a DVI handshake issue, for sure.

edit: Found my answer using a fancy thing called "google".
It costs nearly $100 here in the U.S.
