Is it possible to connect the Xbox360 VGA cable into my video card (dual VGA slot) then connect to my monitor?

I;m doing this because my monitor only has 1 VGA slot....and i was wondering if i can utilize the 2 VGA slots on my video card to connect both xbox360 and PC at the same time into 1 monitor.|||NO. The VGA connectors on the video card are outputs, designed only to send video data out to a monitor.|||Unfortunately you can't. Most Graphics cards in PCs are output, and not input. So not really.|||No, the VGA Slots on your video card are for output only not input. You can however get TV Card with S-video and connect the xbox to the computer to feed to the monitor that way.



Or even better get a KVM switch. This allows you to share one keyboard, mouse and monitor with two or more computers. In your case one monitor shared between the computer and xbox. You just have to hit a little button to switch between the inputs.



cost anywhere from 15 to 50 bucks for the fancy models.
