Actually, it sounds as though you need to set the eeprom correctly for monitor type. It's *so* long since I worked with one of these old-mode monitors. You can do it from the monitor with a cryptic command like 'q88=2' or somesuch. This is probably in a Sun HW FAQ on the net or the front of a Sun FE guide. HTH Paul P.S. *don't* try q88=2 - it's a guide to syntax only
