Should the Kramer USB-C to VGA adapter work on my Mac Mini without having to first prime the connection with an Apple adapter? The Kramer looks exactly like the Belkin adapter. That page does not specifically mention compatibility with the M1 Mini. It appears that at least some third-party adapters can work, as Apple has mentioned the Belkin adapter on If I use the A1620 adapter, to get the Mini connected to the VGA monitor, then switch to the Kramer adapter, it will keep working until I reboot the computer. If I use a A1620 adapter (that is usually on my laptop), that will make the VGA monitor on the Mini work. If I use a Kramer adapter, it used to work sometimes, but now will not work. I have connected a VGA monitor to one of the Thunderbolt ports.

If anyone knows settings that will let it go through the VGA adapter at 1600x1200, please let me know.I have an HDMI monitor connected to the HDMI port. Either way, I am enjoying the nice resolution now, and look forward to using it on my new Mac next summer. Like I said, this was the combination that let it go its highest (1152x870). I looked through the manual and it seems to differ from the product. The setting I am using is "1" on the dial, and for the jumpers, 1 on, 2 off, 3 on, 4 off, 5&6 on, 7 off, and 8 on. (I have two 19" Micron screens) Unfortunately I cannot afford a Radeon card at this time and all. This monitor is going to go out soon, so I will not be able to use it with BNC connectors much longer. Anyways, what I am wondering is how I am setting the Belkin switch wrong.

To my amazement, it can go up to 1920x1080. Tonight I realized "Why don't I try it through BNC? Then maybe I can select more than one resolution without having to reset the switches on the Belkin!" So I did. Anyways, I have been using it with a Viewsonic PS790 which has both VGA and BNC terminals. I bet this has been covered before, but I have a Beige G3/300 (Oc'ed to 333) with the extra 4 mb ram upgrade for the video.
