Bah. Get on ePay and buy one of the $10 "SGI/Sun" 13W3/HD15
adapters, and pull pin 10 on the 13W3 side. That's the rightmost small
pin in the top row if you're looking at it like this: (O O \\\\\ O)
In case Mail.app is actually sending in fixed-width today:

The Sun Composite-Sync signal and the SGI Composite-Sync signal
aren't on the same pin, and most CS-capable monitors do it the Sun way.
Pulling pin 10 disables CS from the SGI adapter and forces everything
to SOG.
I can verify this on Indy, Octane, Indigo2 Extreme and Impact, and
IIRC, Indigo R3k models.
Or, if your tube has BNC connectors, you can dig out your old
13W3/BNC cable, and attach only the RGB leads.
