USB video?

[Tom Buskey]

We're so used to having a VGA port and maybe PS/2 keyboard + mouse that we
think it odd when they're not there :-)  Now it's all USB and HDMI (or
Displayport) with adapters to the old stuff if needed.

The Raspberry Pi has HDMI and USB FWIW.  My old Mac Mini has mini-DVI and
mini-Displayport and adapters to what the rest of the world does.

Why do servers still have VGA + PS/2?  Because most KVMs haven't switched?
FWIW, I still have a KVM that will do serial mice.
