[SunRescue] PC vga monitor on Ultra 1 Creator of Framebuffer?

[Kurt Huhn]

I got my Iiyama 17" Vision Master working on my SGI Indy with a Belkin
13w3 -> HD15 adapter block by breaking all the pins off the 13w3 side of the
adapter.

There is apparently some signal that is genereated on one or more pins that
makes it look like there's no signal on DSUB.  By removing those pins,
leaving the RGB coax connectors, you prevent that errant signal from
interfering.

Also, ensure that you have selected Sync On Green (SOG) from the function
menu on your monitor - this is *very* important.  Otherwise your image will
be scrabled.

I do not have experience with using this method on Suns - but hold on
here...

hmmmmm...

No, not working right now.  Not with this method anyway.

    Hi All,



    Just wanted to ask if anyone here has any ideas if this is feasible:

    I've been lucky enough to get acces to a 'regular' Ultra1 and a Creator
Ultra 1 -

    any way of getting the Creator and/or the framebuffer card to work with
a regular

    SVGA (eg IIyama 19" VisionMaster Pro or Philips 15 c ) monitor?



    I've tried hooking both up to the machines with a 13WDM to 15Female
adapter,

    but monitors don't seem to be getting a signal....do I need some kind of
extra adapter

    or is there another trick to try...or....am I out of luck with this?



    I'd appreciate your help - replies to jpj at casema.net  would be great!



    Thanks in advance,



    Jean-Pierre
