The mg2 is a greyscale mono framebuffer, and apparently (I've never had
anything to do with greyscale framebuffers or greyscale monitors),
although they use the same connector as later colour frame buffers, they
don't output signals that will drive colour monitors. Someone who has
experience with this might liek to confirm or deny what I've said. 

Regards,

Craig.
