I have two vga cable. One cable has all 15 pins and the second cable has no
pin 9 (depending on how you count.. one from middle row)

I do not have any KVM switch in this setup. The VGA cable goes straight from
ultra 20 to the sunray 170.

The output was from the setup when I was using the VGA cable with all 15
pins on both end.

Here is the new output from the setup with one pin (pin 9) missing on both
end.
