I have used Indy (XZ graphics) with Samsung SyncMaster 225BW display. I wanted to upgrade to a bit nicer screen, and bought an old Lenovo ThinkVision L192p (1280x1024 and by spec supports sync on green). I am using a 13W3-VGA adapter bought from Ian.
Surprisingly, it looks that the L192p does not seem to recognize the Indy at all. I got already scared with the GPU had broken. But no, Indy works with the Samsung display like before. Correspondingly, the L192p VGA input works OK with my laptop.
I didn't notice the display complaining anything. It just briefly tells there is no signal, and goes to standby.
Basic spec of the L192p can be found from: https://www.ibm.com/common/ssi/cgi-bin/ssialias?infotype=AN&subtype=CA&htmlfid=877/ENUSZG06-0921
Is there some obvious thing why this even shouldn't work? Or can default timings be somehow so wrong the display doesn't even recognize the GPU because of it? Something to test with setmon? Other ideas?
I did order another cable (https://www.ebay.com/itm/270832512031) but I'm not especially hopeful it makes a difference.
