[SunRescue] Sun monitor GDM20E20

> Is the Sun monitor GDM20E20 a multisync monitor? (able to work with SVGA)

I'm not sure if it's multisync. I do know that it works with my PC video
card. I've got a ATI, with the Rage PRO chipset running at 1024x768 at 85.
It will sync at 75/76 as well. If you do a search on GDM-20E20 at
google.com you'll find specs.

 
> Is its connector s HD15?

No, it's a 13w3. Adaptors are available at Fry's or online. You'll find
vendors when you search, I think the company running the monitor database
has them.

I can't get mine to sync through a cheap switch box, and I have not bought
a good on yet.

Which 'premium' monitor? Do you have a model #? 

On a related note, I bought another 20E20 and a 20D10 at a local computer
junk sale. The 20E20 powers up, and I hear it click, but I don't get any
display. I've tried the controls, and two different Sun's (LX and 600MP
with TGX+) both are known working on my other 20E20. What might be causing
this? I'll probably have time to check the internals of the cable later,
as it was my first guess. I also need aremote for a 20D10.
