Sun uses combined H+V sync. SGI (and DEC, and maybe others) used sync |
| 7 |
on green. Unless you have both, sync on green is not a requirement. |

That said, nearly all current monitors support separate, combined, and |
| 9 |
sync on green. |

If your converter does not set a sense bit to tell OBP what type of |
| 12 |
monitor you have, you will probably need to fiddle with the |
| 13 |
output-device OBP property to achieve the desired resolution and |
| 14 |
refresh rate. Consult appropriate manuals to determine the OBP syntax |
| 15 |
and supported graphics modes. Hint: setenv output-device |
| 16 |
screen:rXXXXxYYYYxRR normally works. |

Also, UPA is not an external connector type, it is the system |
| 19 |
communications protocol used in early ultras and for graphics devices |
| 20 |
in nearly all ultras. Many systems have one or more UPA slots |
| 21 |
internally, but attempting to connect a monitor to one would be |
| 22 |
plainly impractical. It stands for Ultra Port Architecture. |
