On sparc64, it should be easier to get a serial cable to work though, no? You can use an LM1881 sync separator to take the sync out of the green and split it into hsync and vsync. A number of schematics can be found online. A serial cable should be simpler though. :-) - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't Cc me, I am philip@freebsd.org subscribed to the list.
