I recently purchased a VGA to HDMI adapter in order to connect VGA devices to my HDMI recording box so as to record the screens of devices not equipped with HDMI ports. Unfortunately, the VGA adapter appeared not to work properly, and I edited this video to end with my explaining that either the adapter was broken, or I had configured something incorrectly. After the video was fully exported, and the title and description already written, I thought I would have one last go at the adapter with yet another computer, and, surprisingly, it worked! That means I can now properly record the screens of VGA-only devices, such as SGIs, older PCs, or my Librebooted ThinkPad T400. Stay tuned!
