How can I get a PC monitor to work with my sparc. I heard of a 13w3 converter but will the display work?

Yes you can. 1. 99% 13w3 adapter will work. Or you just make urself: http://www.hut.fi/Misc/Electronics/faq/vga2rgb/interfacing.html#vga_13w3 2. use m64config -prconf to get current settings, m64config -res 800x600x60 format to set yours then reboot. Or fbconfig. 3. if sth wrong, you can use OBP command at ok prompt: printenv output-device //see settings setenv output-device screen:r1024x768x70 then reset-all or reset
