Lobano Posted October 25, 2008 Share Posted October 25, 2008 I have 8800GT nvidia in my computer and HP monitor with two inputs. I have the HDMI input connected to my computer and the VGA input connected to my TV box. Each time if I am in MAC OS and want to switch to the other input to watch TV and when I return to the first input for MAC i get a light blue screen and won't be able to access MAC. I have to turn off the computer and restarted. It's somthing to do in how to switch from one input to others setting or something like that, any help please on this Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lobano Posted October 26, 2008 Author Share Posted October 26, 2008 it works with a kvm switch. forgive my ignorant. what is kvm switch and were to find Update: Ok so you use KVM switch if you have one input in your monitor (if I am not mistaking here) but in my case I do have two input for my monitor so I don't need a switch because there is a botton on the side of the monitor to switch from one input to other. But again my issue is If am using MAC and switch back from tv input to MAC, I will loose MAC screen to get only light blue screen. Interesting enough that if I am using windows vista(the same computer) the switching back and forth is fine. only happen in MAC. Hummm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hummm kvm = keyboard video monitor the difference between the kvm switch and the switch inside the monitor is that that the kvm switch still simulates a connected device. this way you won´t have any problems. I have connected three monitors. one has a kvm switch between the windows and the os x machine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
