I used this adapter in the past (

on eBay, Amazon, AliExpress. Pretty sure it worked with an old Dell
monitor over HDMI. I can try retesting it this weekend.

Well, you are right - I could switch distributions to something that is
avoiding the Wayland juggernaut. But my chosen Koolaid is Fedora, and
starting with version 40 in April they plan to ship without an X server.
That may not stick, and it may also be a repository package. KDE,

Hi Bill,

choice but to get new display adapters for all of my Linux machines.
You probably are not technically forced to use Wayland: Most

Hi Felix -

including the DOS PC, to HDMI and USB?
It should be no problem to use HDMI and USB directly
with DOS. The BIOS will have USB legacy support to
convert keyboard and mouse data into P
This is probably more of a hardware question than a FreeDOS question.
However, I think the people on this list are likely to have some
experience with this kind of problem.
The upcoming change to Wayland in the Fedora world is going to force me
to change out my PS/2 KVM switch for one that sup
