What kind of converter do you have between the Sun Ray and the TV? Did it come with documentation saying precisely what timing and signalling conventions it expects (or requires) on the VGA side? > I am reading references to NTSC resolutions for 704x480. > Is this resolution supported? The list of supported timings is shown by 'utresdef'. 704x480 is not one of them. As far as I can tell from a quick Google most converters want [EMAIL PROTECTED] on the VGA input but that says nothing about Hsync and Vsync timing and nothing about composite/separate sync or sync signal polarity or interlacing. A good converter can probably accept and compensate for lots of variance in those parts of the signal, a poor one may depend on the VGA signal having very specific properties.
