Anybody had luck hooking a VAXstation 4000/60 with "GS-2" (?)
graphics adapter up to a VRE01 flatpanel?
I finally got the VS4K from Doc today (thanks for dropping it off,
BTW, hope that mono video cable works for you), and got around to
hooking it up to the VRE a bit ago. However, all is not right - there
looks to be a scan rate/resolution mismatch, and I cant find ANY
dipswitches, etc, to set..
Suggestions? Links to the 4000/60 owners manual possibly?
I've got pictures of the results:

Any help appreciated. I'd LOVE to get this display working..
(and the pictures show the display as yellow - its actually orange..)

I suspect the framebuffer is not compatible.
I have an xf86config file that works graphics on the vre01
But on the 3100/76 and on the vt1200 the vre01 works in b/w and with
the on-board framebuffer. Does the 4000/60 have similar output???? I
should go ck myself as I have one of those...

Yup. I didn't send the email telling you you can have it back? Got

I'll be home around 6, but $computer_room is in no shape for visitors
(its a filthy mess right now). If I get it working, I'll take pictures and
you can come over when I get the house cleaned. 8-)
Thanks.

Silly: I can make a connector in no time flat....or send u one....but
they only fit the 15 pin plug on the vs3100 console!
Let me know. U get the vre01 going in graphics....in exchange. I can
only do b/w on the vs3100 console in netbsd. Or decterm in vms, crude. I
can do 1000x800 in X on a matrox/millennium card but I have some small
problems and it is not perfect enough for me
