Enable onboard port
Need help enabling the onboard port. I have an Inspirion 3656 - I'm trying to set up a dual monitor set up but the onboard port gives me a disabled message when I try to add the second monitor connection. Any idea how to fix?

So the only workaround is to get a HDMI to VGA adapter? Neither of my monitors have an HDMI port; but there's only one VGA connector to the video card port area.

You have to connect monitors to your video card ports not to the board. Use 2 diff video ports on the integrated video or separate card if dual monitors are supported. Research "connecting dual monitors" for more info. The video that was available with your model--

Controller:
Integrated • AMD Radeon R6 Graphics
• AMD Radeon R7 Graphics
Discrete • NVIDIA GeForce GT705
• NVIDIA GeForce GT720
• NVIDIA GeForce GT730
• AMD Radeon R9 360

USB to vga has been around for quite a long time.
