All right. First off, I got the video card installed:
![installradius.jpg installradius.jpg](https://forumbucket.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/data/attachments/71/71847-7738c291c5d7e84aeeefd9738167fda4.jpg)
Easy enough.
Next I got the video cable wired up using the diagram provided by
@CircuitBored, and made a couple educated guesses:
![videocable.jpg videocable.jpg](https://forumbucket.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/data/attachments/71/71848-157aa3a4df10f66c573f7411d997b8c4.jpg)
And the key for the pins:

Note: Blue was marked as "Ground" but as I didn't have a matching pin to connect it to on the card I left it unconnected. Grounding it to the shell seems to make minimal difference.
I powered up the SE/30, but didn't get any video at first.
I forgot to plug the video cable into the monitor.
After I did that:

Look at that! A video signal! However, I couldn't get any windows or the mouse cursor to actually display on it.
I restarted the computer:
![maindisplay.jpg maindisplay.jpg](https://forumbucket.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/data/attachments/71/71851-497d7332411d0f52a4e37c6bc2044b19.jpg)
It switched to this screen automatically.
So, sweet, everything seems to work, right?
Well, not quite.
First issue, and one I expected, is the tilt doesn't work. That's fine, since I read earlier that you need the radiusware software for it to work. I don't have it right now, but I will later, so whatever.
Unfortunately, that's not the only issue. There's actually two more, and they're both quite annoying.
Firstly, while the radius monitor is connected and usable, I don't seem to be able to use the normal SE/30 screen. It's on, and it's on the typical gray screen (sans menu bar), but I can't mouse over to it or pull up any windows there. This may also be solved with Radiusware, or it may be that I connected the sense pins in a way that disables the SE/30 display. I don't know.
The other, and probably more annoying issue, is that the Pivot has a ghosting issue. It gets better when I turn the contrast down, but seems to get worse the longer I have it running.
Over the course of my typing this post, it has gone from:
![fresh.jpg fresh.jpg](https://forumbucket.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/data/attachments/71/71854-05cd37daaf1550d60aee0e308cf4050e.jpg)
to

And of course, if you crank the contrast, you get:
![Pivotinnocent.jpg Pivotinnocent.jpg](https://forumbucket.us-southeast-1.linodeobjects.com/data/attachments/71/71855-cd22b40714665d8cf08d433f2488d541.jpg)
I don't know what the fix is. If I had to guess, I'd say capacitor replacement, but I don't know. It does get better again if you turn it off and let it rest for a moment. I don't think it's anything to do with my video cable, though.
So there we are. It works... kinda. Hopefully we can get some other people to test, and I will post an update when I get my radiusware.
