Jeffrey Best will be talking to us about ""Developing a CouchDB Application
Using CouchApp"?, about which more anon. But meanwhile, we have a connection
problem. Jeffrey has a laptop with a DisplayPort port. He also owns an HDMI
adapter for it. So we need to be able to adapt: ideally, DisplayPort to VGA
for the projector; failing that HDMI to VGA, but I have an inbuilt unease
about a -> b -> c adaptation. Too much to go wrong! So can anyone help with
DisplayPort to VGA? And a backup of HDMI to VGA? It would help if solutions
are known to work. Jeffrey himself has in fact got a DisplayPort to VGA
adapter, but it doesn't work in practice.
Jeffrey will bring his presentation on a USB stick in case , so could we be
sure to have at least one laptop running LibreOffice Impress, with an ability
to connect to VGA.
All help and suggestions welcome. If DisplayPort is the future, this problem
will arise again, so we need a solution.
I was thinking of buying this for the group:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/DisplayPort-Display-Adapter-Convertor-Macbook/dp/B017Q8OCSY/ref=sr_1_16?ie=UTF8&qid=1456556516&sr=8-16&keywords=DisplayPort+to+VGA+adapter
until I saw this:
"Didn't work on my set-up, but this due to DP/HDTV not the cord itself. I
needed active adapter I eventually sussed." in the reviews.
So: comments? Advice? Has anyone got an "active adapter"?
If nothing else offers, I'll get two adapters - DisplayPort to VGA and HDMI to
VGA and hope for the best!
