Hello,
I just bought an Ultra 10 which has both the UPA(13w13) as well as the HD-15 connectors.
I tried plugging in my pc monitor to the HD-15 connector directly and that didnt work.
I plugged in a sun monitor (at work) into the UPA connector and it worked.
Why is this?
I was under the impression that the ultra 10 supports std pc vga monitors directly (w/o having to buy/use the 13w13->hd15 adapter) since it has the hd15 connector built-in. I suppose that is not true then?
Or could it be that the pc monitors i have tried do not support the hi-frequencies or are not true multisync?
Thanks in advance,
Ketan

same thing happen to me..it seems that only the better monitors will work with the sun boxs.i had about 6 monitors n only 1 of them worked(19" the best one i had)the other were 15".i also tryed it on a freind of mines dell monitor and it worked great.so ya i think it has somthin to do with the better monitors bein able to run @ high frequecy.
hopes this heLps

Yup, you need a monitor that can deal with the refresh rates. I guess you could try changing via a terminal with fbconfig.

Most multisync monitors seem to be ok.
