Yes, that switch selects between separate

BNC socket and sync-on-green.
Aha - SOG. Thank you.
I have been
unable to find any specifications for this monitor online. I
don't think the Monitor Database one is correct - if it is, I'm doing
something wrong.
It's a normal TV rate (that is, 15.7kHz horizontal, 60Hz
vertical) RGB
analogue monitor.
Aha.
Is it possible
to hook this thing up to a PC? Is there anything I need
to bear in mind when configuring X?
It will not sunc to nromal VGA frequencies.
Period. I cna't think of a PC
video adapter that will easily drive it, either.
I wasn't attempting to get it to - some PC VAs can, I believe, output
composite sync or Sync on Green. The options are certainly there in the
X configuration file. And I have previously gotten my card to output PAL
and NTSC timings.
