Solution H H huilun02 Oct 10, 2014 Each port can only output 1 display. Hook up your DVI monitor with something like this http://www.amazon.com/Cables-Unlimited-PCM-2296-06-HDMI-Cable/dp/B0007MWE1E For your VGA monitor you can try something like this http://plugable.com/products/usb-vga-165 If you try to run two monitors off one laptop port, both of them will display the same image.
