Title: xevious monitor question
Post by: redfivexw on May 16, 2005, 12:07:07 pm

I got a new monitor for my xevious, and am trying to hook it up but cannot get a good picture.  From the monitor, there are 7 wires, R,G,B, and a white and blue (i assume these are sync), and a black (ground).  The xevious has these wires : R,G,B, then wire calles Vid. Rtn (i have no idea) and sync.  there is no ground coming from the video section that was originally attached to my old monitor.  I connected the RGB, then twisted the white and black wires from the monitor and connected those to sync.  I got a picture but it is very light and has  some green lines running up and down (horizontal as the monitor is in the vertical position).  I connected the vid. rtn to ground and that did nothing.  Does anyone know what i am doing wrong?  What is vid. rtn and where does it connect to?  Should i connect the ground from the monitor somewhere else?

Hi,

I'm also a proud Xevious owner, and I plan to buy a new monitor because the actual is strongly burned  :(

Just for information, did you solve your problem ?

What kind of monitor did you use ?

You can have a look at my xevious here : http://www.dragonslairfans.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=63
