Oh. Well, I'll still have a look at the Japanese stuff James mentioned, but 
perhaps with less hope in my heart.

Thanks for letting me know.

Cheers,

I have a Japanese-speaking friend - it might be asking too much to get a full 
technical translation, but perhaps a brief summary... even so, it looks like 
whatever the instructions are for, they're a bit beyond me, but then who 
knows?

Thanks a lot!

My Japanese is non-existant, but it might be a place to start.  For one 
thing they appear to have the pinout chart, so who knows...

Sony PCVA-15XTAP2 monitor

2004-10-11 Thread Ben Paley
Hello,

Someone's offered me one of these monitors,  a Sony PCVA-15XTAP2. I really 
don't know anything about it, except that it's widescreen and has a 
non-standard connector of some sort - power and signal through the same 
cable, apparently (I haven't actually seen it yet). Does anyone know anything 
about making it work (will I be able to run it with an adapter from my 
current generic agp card?) and specifically making it work with Xorg?

Searching on the Sony site comes up with nothing, and I've googled around and 
found pretty much the same there.

Thanks a lot,
Ben
