what will my monitors output be if i have BOTH VGA and DVI inputs running?
my monitor has slots for both VGA and DVI inputs my desktop currently runs into the VGA slot and im thinking about running my xbox 360, through a VGA to DVI adapter into the DVI slot so i don't have to switch the VGA's back and forth every time i change systems. How will i control the output onto my screen? or will this even work at all... Thanks =)

You can't use a DVI-VGA adapter that way.

DVI-VGA adapters only work in one direction-- From a DVI-I port on a computer video card to a VGA port on a monitor.

If you try to connect the XBox VGA cable to the monitor DVI port using that adapter, you will get no signal.
