Monitor connection for xps410

I'm trying to hook up a BenQ FP767 to the XPS410 but the video ends
don't match. I got the feeling I need a male/female, etc.. adapter
to match the pc with the video cable but I'm not sure.

Does anyone know what it takes to make the video cable fit the pc?
What do I call it when I shop for it? I'll try to Google this
meanwhile and report any answer, if I get lucky.

Thanks

Just to add to my post, I'm looking at the FP767 manual and if it
matters....
it reads the input signal is RGB analog 0.7Vpp//75 ohm positive;
Synchronization is TTL separate signal connection 15 pin mini D-sub
cable.

Also one more addition, the video card in the xps410 is
the 256MB nVidia Geforce 7300LE TurboCache card.

thanks again.

I assume you have a standard male DB-15 to male DB-15 video cable?

The 7300 has a blue DB-15 analog VGA out, a white DVI-I digital output and a
black round S-Video TV output.

If your BenQ came with a standard DB-15 VGA cable it would have a male DB-15
on each end.

One end goes into the blue connector on the 7300 video card and the other
end into the female DB-15 connector on the FP767.

It looks like the FP767 also has a connector for the built-in speakers.

Rich, you are correct and I solved it but I feel STUPID after I solved
it. I'd rather not say (with my tail under my legs).

thanks for the quick reply !!

I've done worse.

Well you should.

Just kidding. We've all done that or worse.
