I just got an SGI Indy workstation recently and wanted to plug it into my 8 port KVM switch box and use my existing KDS AV7T monitor, mouse and keyboard with it. I can't seem to get any video when I switch to the indy though. I am using a 13W3 to VGA converter and VGA cable connected to the KVM switch box. I can't get video when I plugh the AV7T directly into the back of the Indy either. I know the video is working because I plugged a monitor at work into it using the adapter and that worked. Any ideas?

You might try another video cable, or check for pushed pins.
Also I think you meant SVGA, yes?
Also get a multi meter and an accurate pin out, and Ohm out the cable.
We have lots of indys, it amazes me how tempermental those video cards are. and expensive.
