Be careful. Most VGA cables are missing wire connections to various
pins. For example pins 4 and 11 are almost always missing. Pin 9
sometimes. I have one cable that has only 9 wires. These are not
unimportant pins to many of us. The fact that all pins are sometimes
present in the connector, doesn't mean the wires are there.
Check out any cable you get with an ohmmeter to make sure the lines you
want are present.
There are many ground return connections in the standard SVGA pinout, so
some of those "wires" may actually be shields. They might also be
connected together.
This is looking less and less like a good idea...
