The page says (as you mentioned) that the video outputs supported include:. Thunderbolt port with support for up to 2560-by-1600 resolution. HDMI port with support for up to 1920-by-1200 resolution. DVI output using HDMI to DVI Adapter (included). Support for dual display and video mirroring The DVI adapter included with the Mac Mini would work fine.

There's no need to buy any additional adapters. Just make sure to get a KVM that supports DVI and supports the maximum resolution of your monitor, and you'll be fine. The Mini DisplayPort to DVI adaptor listed in the optional add-ons would only be necessary if you wanted to connect two DVI monitors. The HDMI to DVI adapter included for free works fine, so unless you're planning to use two displays, you don't need a DisplayPort to DVI adapter. HDMI and DVI are 100% compatible, so an HDMI to DVI adapter will work better anyways.

DisplayPort and DVI are different electronically. Adapters therefore have a higher chance of being slightly finicky.

I am trying to port KVM (Written for Linux) to Mac OS X. Background work: I started going through Apple Developer Documents which lists out a procedure to do just that. I was not able to understand some parts of it, and the ones I understood and tried did not work well (as planned). As Apple Developer documents suggested, I also tried through fink, macports etc., But, these package management applications come into picture once the code is successfully compiled on the host, right? (Thats what I assumed).Correct me if I am wrong. Right now, I am engaged in removing the errors faced, one by one. This method is taking painstakingly long amounts of time and effort, and also, I do not know, if this will ever work.

QUESTION: Please let me know whether my approach is right or wrong. If right, let me know what should be my next step. If wrong, let me know what should be my first step. P.S: Lots of the time allocated for the project has already gone in vain of trying different methods. Please help me in taking a definitive way to solve this problem. Your approach is incorrect. KVM is inherently an extremely OS-specific application.

Porting it to Mac OS X is not simply a matter of going through the code and fixing compile errors — significant parts of it will need to be rewritten entirely to work on OS X. (Just for starters, for instance, there is no /dev/kvm on OS X. VT support works in a completely different way.) If any of this is news to you, TURN BACK NOW. KVM is not a simple piece of software.

If you do not first understand what you are dealing with, you will not be able to port it, no matter how much time you spend on it.
