If all you want is to be able to boot headless, then unfold a paper-clip
into a 'U' shape, then use it to bridge pins 4 and 11 on the 15-pin female
monitor port. Your mac will think it is attached to an Apple 13" RGB
display, 640x480@67Hz.
If you really want VGA, then bridge pins 7 and 10 instead. Your mac (if
it is recent enough) will think it is attached to a VGA monitor and probably
do 640x480@60Hz.

PS. Two questions:
1) Does anyone know where I might be able to find some VRAM chips
for the empty sockets on my Toby frame buffer?
2) Does anyone feel like compiling me a 1.2 kernel with GATEWAY
enabled? :-)
