Perhaps the Creator is only sending sync-on-green or composite sync (H and V sync with different polarity on a single line), while the VGA monitor expects explicit (separate V and H TTL-level) sync signals? Both used to be quite common among workstation vendors (even though obviously, the 13W3 connector offers explicit sync pins as well). I've got a Sony GDM20D10 (labelled as a Sun monitor, it's the fixed-frequency monitor with the IRed remote control unit) which requires composite sync. -- J"org Wunsch Unix support engineer joerg_wunsch@interface-systems.de http://www.interface-systems.de/~j/
