Sorry for your impatient. I describable in detail as follow:

I want to do some experiments to VGA port in KIT DE2, so firstly I use a demo program for VGA which is provided by Altera. More specifically, this program is belong to DE2_control_panel.

Because I just have one monitor, so I need to unplug VGA cable from PC then connect it to VGA port on DE2 Kit to evaluate the result of the demo. Apparently, it is inconvenient and then I bought a switch permit to connect many PC to a monitor. At the first time, it worked but the second time test was fail. The default theme of DE2 is not displayed on the screen. I noticed that the signal led on the monitor is flash between yellow and green. (When the monitor does not get signal the led is yellow, otherwise it is in green)

I guess VGA port in DE2 kit have got a trouble but I dont know how to fix it. I hope you give me some hints.

Thank
