I am sorry for the confusion. I am attaching a pdf to clarify my approach. The question is about what to set in PC1. The VGA port cannot be used for this setup. Option 1: try to use the DVI of the MB and add a graphics card with one DP port Option 2: add a dual port DP/DP video card, with a converter DP to DVI Option 3: try to use the DVI of the MB and add a USB-C card with a converter USB-C to DP Option 4: add a dual USB-C card with a converter USB-C to DP and USB-C to DVI. Option 5 add a dual port DP/DVI video card > Sent: Friday, October 06, 2023 at 4:48 PM > From: "Roger Heflin" <rogerheflin@xxxxxxxxx> > To: "Community support for Fedora users" <users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> > Subject: Re: Monitors > > ok. that makes a bit more sense.
