I've connected an old Sun Hitachi 19" colour monitor to an ATI Mach 32
video controller in a i486 PC.  It works great at 1024x768 in Windows.
It also works (somewhat) at 1280x1024 but I had to tweek some of the
settings on the fit the image to the screen.  If you remove the back
panel of the monitor you can get at some switches and pots for adjusting
sync signals, termination resistances, horizontal phase, etc.

I'm trying to get it working with 386BSD XFree86 but I need some timing
specifications for the monitor in order to generate the Xconfig mode timing
data.  In particular, I need:

horizontal sync frequency range
vertical sync frequency range
dot clock(s)

Some information printed on the back of the monitor:

Hitachi
TYPE HM-4119-S-AA-0

MFG. NO.: 412455-414
DATE: MAY 1988

Sun Part # 365-1000-01
Model: C

Anybody have any specs for this monitor?
