I am not sure, all I can say is what happens here and what others have told me
about this on the envisionaries list. Most things work fine here too without
monitor but know DVD player will not work without one. Safari has been
reported to be quite sluggish without a monitor hooked up as well. I can't
confirm this because I haven't played with safari enough yet.

ah... ok... sorry if i gave the wrong info, i just have a few friends that
use mac mini's (latest ones) without monitors and they work just fine. i'm not
sure why this is. perhaps it works on certain hardware? i don't have any
problems without a monitor connected...

Ashley,
We've confirmed this on this list or the mac envisionaries list that just
eh adapter alone doesn't work for the latest minis. There has to be a monitor
hooked to it. TO confirm this here I used a mini dvi to vga adapter on the
mini but no monitor plugged into the adapter. When inserting a video DVD in
the mini I get the message no monitor detected. However when I attach the
monitor to the adapter I then can play the DVD just fine.
Also I was told that the mini dvi to video adapter no longer works on
newest minies either due to the analog lines being removed from the mini dvi
port on the minis. I'm certainly no expert on the mini as I've only had it
for a short time but this is what I know for sure.

you don't need a monitor, just a display to vga adapter you can get in
the apple store.

Hi,
Rick told me the dvi to video adapter no longer works on the newer mac
minis, well it works but he said I need a monitor anyway for the newest latest
mac minis because voiceover will be slow or sluggish?

Tired of Microsoft Windows and paying thousands for screen-readers? try out
NVDA, get a mac--, nvda--for Windows, or try out and switch to grml, Ubuntu,
Vinux, or knoppix-adriane Linux desktops. Knoppix ubuntu and vinux-cli-max are
the most accessible for beginners. also try vinux-gui and encourage those at

grml so all blind people can have an accessible computer.
