19 You are getting this note from a Samsung SyncMaster 171v LCD monitor
20 on a U2 (2x400), Creator3D (ffb2+) graphics, connected with a converter
21 as freshy98 described. To the extent ViewSonic is the same as 171v,
22 you are fine.

24 (The particular adaptor I am using goes by the description
25 "13W3 Male to HD15 Female Adapters" -- "Primarily used to connect
26 monitors with VGA (HD15) connectors to systems with 13W3 framebuffer."
27 eBay usually does not have such a thing, but you can see one here,
28 for example: http://www.ultraspec.com/pcatalog.asp?pID=1395-SUN
29 One or two other companies sell them, too, and I have no association
30 with UltraSpec.)
