Maybe with a hd15 gender changer, I don't know. I ordered cables like that,
they didn't arrive yet.

sun-monitor to pc-videocards cables should have a male hd15 connector on 1
side and male hd15 the other. Or you might use an adaptor with a female 13w3
+ male hd15.

For a pc monitor to a sun box, the the cable is usually soldered to the pc
monitor. So you need an adaptor with 13w3-male and hd15-female.

About Matrox: the cool thing about Matroxes is that they can handle
sync-on-green and composyte sync (which is what most sun boxes seem to use).
So you don't need a sync convertor.
