Hello all, I am trying to get a 5000/240 ultrix box up and running. Unfortunately, I don't have access to a Digital monitor right now. The only monitor I have with bnc input is a sony 19" monitor GDM-1950, and it has 5bnc inputs, vs the 5000's 3bnc connector. This monitor is fixed-frequency 1024x768 @ 75hz. The video card in the 5000 is a PMAGB-B, which I believe to be 1024x768, though I don't know the frequency. Is there a way I can get this monitor to work with this decstation? I had believed that a 5bnc monitor could be run with a 3bnc cable, but I'm not sure how. I've heard that with an alphastation, at the >>> prompt you can set tga_sync_green to be 1, and send the sync on green signal to enable using a 5bnc monitor with the 3bnc connector. Can you do the same thing with the ultrix machine? Is so, what would the exact command to type at the >>>, please, as I'd be typing it in blind and praying that it works. Any help is *greatly* appreciated. Thanks. Brian brd@erf.net Those who do not understand Unix are condemned to reinvent it, poorly. -- Henry Spencer
