WOW !!! I thought there was a difference. According to this link
http://pinouts.ru/Video/VGA15_pinout.shtml the VGA connections are
not similar to the connections in the linked page above.

Or is this just because it's a different manufacturer? I didn't
think they could that with these types of leads.


They look the same to me, except the first one doesn't include the
extra data pins for examining the monitor.

As druck says, VGA is the electrical connection. The only difference
between VGA ans SVGA is signal timing.

What a load of pedantic buggers there are in here. :-)

OK then. Dave, your splitter may need the extra ID connection to obtain the
correct resolution for your monitor. A simple lower resolution VGA
connection scheme may not be enough to allow the splitter to convert to your
monitor timing signal.

Does that satisfy everyone?

me chuckles quietly in the corner, waiting for the barrage of abuse :-)
