What's the number on the GX board, and is it a Single or Double width board? I'd have thought a GX board would work just fine with a 20D10 monitor I'm surprised you're getting anything on a Mono monitor though. The following web page should be of help: http://www.sunhelp.org/faq/FrameBuffer.html If it's a GX though, I'd recommend spending the money and grabbng a cheap one off of eBay. BTW, nice monitor with the 20D10 you lucky ******, I've been trying to find a decent monitor around here for my SparcStation 20/712. Zane
