Hi

the manual for my Samsung TFT says that 'depending on the graphics card' you may get a blank screen when connecting both D-sub & DVI. But doesn't say you can't do it & there is a 'source' button on the monitor.

However your graphics card will need a DVI output socket, as while you can get adaptors for DVI out to D-sub in, I don't think you can for D-sub out to DVI in, as not enough pins would be connected. (DVI is 24 pin, D-sub is 15)

Sorry, I'm not being much help, but hopefully someone who has tried it can clarify things for you.
