I'm sure that somebody in comp.sys.ibm.ps2.hardware newsgroup will know for
sure.
post with the details below there.
makes me think to the IBM 6019 displays, but better ask here for

(try to get the type/model of your video card before, some of them are also
in RS6000 and/or *nix)
best of luck,
jm.
