Hey guys, I'm in need of a little help. I have gained enough money to purchase a mac mini thanks to Christmas. The thing is that I want to connect it to my VGA monitor, but I would like my Xbox to stay connected to the monitor as well, so I am not switching cables all the time. Is there a way to do this? I will of course be using a Mini DisplayPort to VGA adapter for the Mac. Is there a dual VGA to single VGA adapter with a switch on it or something to select the source? Any help is appreciated, and I wish all of you have had a merry Christmas :).
 
Your TV would have to support some type of dual picture or picture in picture feature. It's really up to the quality of your TV.
 
My monitor only has a single VGA port, so I was wondering if there was an adapter to be able to switch sources with ease. (This is really just a convenience problem.) I just want the Xbox and the Mac to be able to switch off on the same monitor without the hassle of changing the cables.

Oh, cool. That was what I was looking for, do you know if it would work fine for my Xbox? All it needs is video, no sound, keyboard or mouse is needed.
