VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Mister Wireman Profile Please help... I see scatteder messages, and then I do a search for "VGA pinout" and it comes up with scattered crap... still. I found this: http://www.linux-hacker.net/cgi-bin/UltraBoard/UltraBoard.pl?Action=ShowPost&Board=technical&Post=587 Does it work? please help me! I have looked everywhere! When I find out, I want to create a site for newbies. to help them out instead of going back months and months.... Thanks!! 07-03-2000 23:06:08

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) ckbone I haven't a clue why anyone would need a vga out on this thing but...the guy with the opener for sale on ebay (#373416575)..has one working ,with picts on ebay......he also answered an email question I asked him about his external IDE setup. 07-04-2000 03:05:23

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Mister Wireman Profile I asked him very politely for some pinouts, but no reply :( Thanks anyways... :) 07-04-2000 08:39:41

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Reverend Jones As posted by Tackhead in the technical section: RE:VGA out / VESA DDC? (modified 0 times) Tackhead Works fine - just hook up the pins on the 10-pin motherboard VGA connector to the pins on a 15-pin VGA connector. I was just trying to figure out what the three unknown pins were; they carry voltages and are emphatically *not* grounds. Parts required: 1 * 10-pin female 2mm-pitch IDC connector, a few inches of 2mm-pitch ribbon cable, 1 * 15-pin female high-density D-sub connector. Pinouts were from around the original IO hack page: Vga Port CN1 1 R 2 <<<<<< Something weird 3 G 4 <<<<<< Something weird 5 B 6 <<<<<< Something weird 7 H 8 GND 9 V 10 GND 07-04-2000 12:09:19

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) garfield for a 2mm pitch idc connector, you need 1mm pitch cable. 07-04-2000 12:16:29

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Mac- Profile Mister Wireman: Can you please email me at mac@endscape.com i would like to ask you something. Thanks, Mac 07-04-2000 13:35:15

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Aspi Wasn't there also a listing for the VESA values for at least 2 of the 3 unknowns you have there, in the same thread? 07-04-2000 15:52:17

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Tackhead Aspi: If there was, I missed it. (I think there was mention of some of the VESA values, but I don't remember any linking of those values to actual pins on the IO connector. If I'm wrong, please enclue me. I'm still curious :) 07-05-2000 13:35:20

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) UPSGuy There was one of the VESA voltages mentioned, pin 9 = 5v. Does anyone know what kind of signal the serial data line gives out? Pins 12 & 15 on my rig gave me the same voltage reads. I suspect I'll take the O-Scope to the IO later, but I'd like to have some idea of what I'm looking for. 07-18-2000 01:15:14

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) UPSGuy Oh, almost forgot this. Why aren't you guys grounding the RGB sets? Couldn't you use a common ground for this purpose? 07-18-2000 01:45:37

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) UPSGuy Disregard the pin information, it looks like it was a known pin. I wonder what they used the extra 5v at pin 6 for? There are still two data lines unknown, but could the 5v be one of them? 07-18-2000 02:34:57

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) UPSGuy Pin 6 on CN1 does go to pin 9 on the VGA connector, which is listed on the VESA/DDC connector as +5v. Now to find out what pins 2 & 4 do. 07-18-2000 03:10:17

RE:VGA OUT PINOUT... (modified 0 times) Tackhead UPSGuy: FYI, I grounded my three RGB grounds to a common ground. There was a noticeable improvement in image quality. Before grounding, I had noticeable "ghosting" (capacitative ripple) beside every vertical line. After, I still had some ghosting, but it was far less visible. Ground lines are your friend. If I had room in my case (and I don't, 'cuz I did something kinda stupid when I did my first VGA-out mod), I'd also consider a ferrite bead on either end of the VGA ribbon cable. 07-18-2000 11:51:50
