The Sony Trinitron "should" work. You may have a Sun adapter. If it's
truly
a "sync-on-green" monitor, you should only need the color (coax) connections
to make it work. As I suggested before, you might want to connect up a pc
running terminal emulation (vt100) on a serial port to the serial port in the
Indy. That way you can login as root, run setmon to set the resolution and
frequency to something compatible with your monitor (typically 1024x768 at
60Hz). When you finally get it running you can try 70Hz or 75Hz.

Good(ish) news! I plugged in the 13w3 adapter to my
Indy, and then a
good Sony Trinitron monitor -- and it WORKS! Well... the opening screen
does. After that the monitor goes black. I tried it on a random noname
monitor from 1992 -- after the "Stop for Maintenance" prompt goes off
screen, all the video gets very garbled very fast. Is this an adapter
problem? Since I have two monitors here that seem to support sync on
green, can I make this work?
Thanks!
