Yeah, you don't _need_ a sync on green monitor, although you can use
one. On my Indigo^2, I made a little adapter that let me use a regular
VGA monitor that had sync on green. I only connected six wires through
- the three colors, and their associated grounds. This prevented the
monitor from getting confused by the other signals, and allowed it to
sync on green. It worked great for me.
