Not likely, not sure that you would have a gain from this either. The adapter is Male DVI-I and Female VGA. A DVI cable consists of two male ends (pins stick out) so you would need a gender changer for the DVI. For your setup to go into a VGA KVM you would need a VGA male to male cable (standard cable) or a male to male gender changer. Skip the hassle, put the DVI to VGA at your VGA card DVI-I port, take the VGA from that to your KVM. Cheaper and quicker this way.

It only works if you have a DVI-A (analog) or DVI-I (mixed analog + digital) output from your video card. If your video card output is only DVI-D (digital only), then it will not work, since VGA is an analog connector.
