I photographed both sides of the board and merged the pictures together to
make a front/back composite. The trace for the cathodes of the 3 diodes
links together on the back of the board and doesn't go anywhere else. The
front trace from V302 cathode goes straight to R312. The anodes DO link with
the monitor driver board through the connection marked MON though.

Looks to be 4V on all 3 lines for RGB:

One of the reasons I'm asking these questions is I'm trying to see if
there's another source of composite sync given that the MR9735 itself
doesn't do it, even though it should.

Cheers!
