what do you find crazy on the cable ?

Hmmm. I made a mistake in some of my recent posts: SCART 16 is RGB switching, not SCART 18. Very, very sorry about that! It may have probably caused you some frustrations. I think I'll go and edit my earlier posts to fix the errors in case someone else follows them.
Anyway, moving on, this is what I find crazy:
1) You direct VGA14 (Vsync) -> SCART 16, which has nothing to do with sync! SCART 16 is for RGB switching.
2) shorting/bridging SCART 16 -> 20 is good, but it now means that you are effectively twisting VGA 13+14 together anyway (which was recommended earlier)
3) Why do you need the 1k resistors on sync lines? This might cause you some sync problems. But if all is OK, then what can i say!
I imagine that you might have some interference on the sync. You might find that the sync improves if you just twist VGA13+14 together and hook them up to SCART 20, either with or without the 1k resistors.

Corrections have been made to earlier posts ....
@Level42 - It occurs to me that people actually read this thread through from the beginning (5 pages now!), then they would be able to answer most questions themselves.
My work has been flat out lately. Sometimes responses are written off the top of my head, in a few rare moments during infrequent breaks, often in a rush before 'the boss' comes out and wonders what I'm up to. Mistakes are regrettable but bound to happen :dunno
Wanna know what I've been working on so frantically? Check out the #bbfuture (Broadband Future) hashtag on Twitter. Became the most popular hashtag in Australia, and most popular topic on Twitter in Australia except for Christmas, over past few days.

Man, you're doing a fabulous job on maintaining this thread. All I did was gather some bits of info and open the thread with it.
What you say is probably right, every answer should be in here by now.... :D
And congrats on your work, although I have no clue what you're talking about. I know Twitter, took a look at it and de-installed it after a week. I probably miss the point, or am finally getting "too old for this stuff". :D

Thx Level42!
BTW, Twitter is not 'installed' - you make an account and can access it through a web interface. It is a popular online social comms tool but is not for everyone. In particular it is meaningless unless you link to other people ('tweeple') and follow them/are followed.
However, the info you can get out of Twitter feeds can be invaluable for tapping into the 'pulse', as it was for #bbfuture.
I don't want to sidetrak the thread, but if you want an old-skool way of understanding what I was talking about, click here for broadband future.
