the pinout picard gave is just the vga channels....if you look at a normal vga cable pinout they match up (as in the names of them :))

as for what to use as a cable, the dell piece comes as a female, (so any monitor can plug into it just like your pc), but i you have a monitor that uses a dual male connector cord, you could buy another male to male cord, cut the one end off and pin it to the x50v correctly, then take the other and and plug it into your monitors female jack

to be clear,
female = the kind with no pins (the port on your pc for monitor is female)
male = side with pins

the biggest problem i see with a home made is that the pins are VERY small, the only logical way to me is if you open the cradle and solder to the board in the cradle....but i dont think i would do that since i dont want to risk losing a cradle....

for now i will what for some other company to make a vga out cable....:)
