I'm trying to set up an old monitor as a secondary display for my new PC, but I'm not getting any signal. The monitor only supports VGA and DVI, so I'm using a DisplayPort to DVI converter, but it's not working. This setup worked fine with my old computer that had a Quadro K2200, but now with my new RTX 5070, it's just not picking up the signal. I even tried reconnecting the monitor to my old PC, and it still didn't work. Is there a specific setting I need to adjust, or what's causing the issue?

Could you share the model number of your old monitor? Sometimes it helps to pinpoint the issue based on the model.
It seems like there might be an issue with analog versus digital signals. DVI has different types: DVI-A for analog, DVI-D for digital, and DVI-I for both. If your old monitor or cabling is only compatible with DVI-A, but your DisplayPort to DVI adapter is trying to send a digital signal (DVI-D), that could be the problem. You might want to check if you can get a different adapter that supports the type your monitor needs.
It's the S26361-K1375-B140, a really old Fujitsu monitor.
