Hi,

many thanks to all people who answered and helped.

I am posting the answer because I got mails from people having the
same problem.

I finally managed to get it working :-))

setup:
PC
G400
5-BNC cable (rgb, hsync, vsync)
X 4.0.2

I do not know why but it started to work after I accidentally
(while trying a second cable) swapped hsync and vsync.
Had no chance to get it up with 3-bnc or SyncOnGreen stuff.
I do not know if it's a problem with my card, with the cables or with
the monitor; it's just working now.

If anybody needs a XF86Config file. I put mine on
http://www.zabbadoz.net/zabbadoz-network/z1/XF86Config
(starting a not yet working dual screen setup so do not get confused)

A happy and successful new year.
