Hi there,

I want to feed the VGA output of a Shark to an old DEC fixed frequency
monitor (a VR297) that only has the three BNC connectors with sync on
green.  I've got the X server talking the right stuff and I've also got
a shonky sync-on-green convertor made up of a couple of co-ax T-pieces
and a resistor, but I was looking for something a little prettier :). Is
there a way to tell the Shark to output sync on green?

BTW, does 139k Xstones at 8bpp and 49k Xstones at 16bpp sound about
right?  This is on a 1024x864 display, and it doesn't give the warning
about "X != 1024, not optimising" that I got playing with some other
resolutions.  This is with the October 1st arm32 snapshot and the July
9th X sets with the XF86_SVGA X server.

Simon.
