I have a normal 10$ usb keyboard like people who don't eat foot cheese like stallman.
>>
>>53275236
usb to serial db9 converters fucking suck. there are still modern boards with serial interfaces, they are hard to find though.
>>
>>53275191
>>53275212
Thankyou.

Is there a way to connect it to my TV as a second monitor?
Like HDMI or VGA adapter.
>>
>>53275191
no its a serial port

don't go there yes its looks like a d-sub but no its not its for old mouse and keyboards, like really old ones that predate BIG DIM

anyway pic related
>>
>>53275273
serial still has its uses. I use serial + tcl/expect scripts to automate network configuration of new servers.
>>
>>53275304

>>53275304
thats still a dsub connector you moron.

it's time to stop posting
>>
>>53275314
thats why i mentioned it. i too use serial connectors for lots of things, and i hate those usb adapters.
my universities CE lab had a hard time searching for new computers still having serial ports
>>
>>53275285
Brah, you have two display ports on the bottom left. Use those
>>
>>53275304
holy fuck do you even understand the difference between interface and connector, i bet majority of /g/ doesn't

just get an adapter. My work place has a bunch
>>
>>53275285
nope. that's a serial port. unless you are using a potato that still is using EGA graphics

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Enhanced_Graphics_Adapter
>>
>>53275285
your best bet is going to be using usb for video, it'll be slow as fuck.. if those two display ports don't work
>>
>>53275356
i have some of them, but sometimes i have seome transmission issues with them
>>
>>53275236
actually it's the opposite, legacy ports are indicative of workststions and other high-quality and often expensive business hardware, while "legacy-free" systems tend to be shitboxes for grandmas and gamertards
>>
>>53275349
>>53275385
Thankyou.
Looking into using the display ports.
I'm retarded and don't know anything btw.

Oh would you fucking look at that?
>>
>>53275356
But they suck shit, are an extra thing to potentially lose or damage and offer no net benefit over just putting one on the damn board in the first place.
>>
>>53275319
>>53275321
mean.
>>53275334
off topic bro.
>>53275350
Yes but same connector on a serial port is just like USB its not a true video port

Yes just like USB it can do it no doubt, but i though kids didn't know about multi function serial ports.

welp my bad.

Is /g retarded. There's a dvi plugged in next to the serial port. Dvi to hdmi yes you can get that.

Find a Dsub9-usb converter and usb-hdmi converter.
There's a zero chance this will work but give it a shot and let us know mate :)
>>
>>53275444
what the fuck is that even for, adapting EGA to VGA somehow?

Why do you hate modernity

>>53275403
The last two motherboards I bought both have headers for serial ports. At-least one serial port, any way. Check with your manufacturer. Maybe the dongle is sold separate.

>>53275400
>Thankyou
You're welcome.

>Looking into using the display ports.
Just search google for Display port to HDMI or whatever it is you're trying to use.

>I'm retarded and don't know anything btw.
No you're not. We all have to start some where. To be honest, I get the feeling you're kinda on the young side. 4chan is the scum of the internet. A lot of people here are obnoxious and seem to have rage issues. Words of wisdom: we're all pessimists here.
>>
>>53275482
Because fallout.

Bought a Display port to HDMI cable.
Hopefully that will work.

They are terrible, the whole product subgroup, from drivers to performance to hardware knockoffs/compatibility/quality. If you ever have problems with a setup and there is one of these in the middle, check it first.
