The Indy at least lumps the horizontal and vertical syncs together on
one of the pins (pin 3), but some 13w3 connectors (and some SGI machines) 
use pins 4 and 5 to provide horizontal and vertical respectively.

There's plenty of information out on the net as to what display boards
provide what signals.

Check the below urls for some more information on what signals are
going across what pins.

I've found plenty of schemtics on the net for the above purpose.
Google will reveal all.
