I found two SGI "granite" monitors for $5 in a surplus place this morning.
Does anyone know if these will work with the SGI Indigo? (XS-24 video card.) I tried them
but I'm not getting any video and I'm not sure if these are both bad or if
they're even supposed work with the Indigo. I checked the SGI and Indigo FAQs and
can't find anything about exactly what systems the monitors are compatible with.

Yeah, those should work just fine on the Indigo.
I assume your Indigo is known operational, and that you have a suitable
cable. Do the monitors just not display a picture, or do they not even
exit power-save?
ok

A quick groups.google.com using gdm-20d11 and indigo produced a
number of ads with the items sold together as a working system.
Don't forget sync on green for these monitors.
My guess is that they don't work, as they can be used on a pc with a
cheap adapter and most sellers know they are worth more like $100.

The dealer definitely didn't know if these were good or not. I got a bargain on
these because I was standing there when they unloaded the truck and spilled the load
including the two monitors. One had a couple of big chips knocked out of the case and both
were scratched up. He offered me both of them on the spot for $5 and I had to pick them up
from where they had fallen. I figured that I couldn't go wrong for that price!
