1/8     Would an aftermarket DVI-VGA adapter produce a better VGA signal
        than the adapter that Apple includes with the Mac Mini?
        \_ it doesn't have to be expensive.  There are just problems with
           the apple adapter.  I believe that you can fix it by cutting
           one or two pins, but it's been a long time since I looked into
           it.
           \_ Does a DVI->VGA adapter just remap pins/conductors, or does
              it actually do non-trivial digital to analog conversion?
              \_ It depends on if you're talking about DVI-D (digital only)
                 or DVI-I (which carries both digital and analog signals).
                 The latter is a simple pin remapping.
           \_ Thanks, I just found a DVI->VGA adapter that came with one
              of my video cards a couple years back. It has less pins
                                                            \_ fewer
              than the one that came with my Mac Mini, and the display
              quality looks better using it! -op
