Wacom Cintiq 18sx and SGI Octane

Wacom Cintiq 18sx and SGI Octane
Hi guys, I'm trying to get a video signal on my wacom cintiq 18sx connected to an Ocane 1 but no luck so far. I've tried a dVI-I cable that supports digital and analog signal to connect it to the octane 1 via a dvi to 13w3 adaptor.

No signal and it gives a message saying "Cable Disconnected going to power save mode".

I have to mention that I am getting a signal on my Tezro though just to confirm that the cintiq is functional.

Anyone an idea what I might be missing?

Thanks in advance.

You think? I made sure it's a wacom cintiq model that came out around the time as the octane roughly 1999-2000.

18sx owner here. Can confirm mine works on my O2, so this should take SoG. Could be the 13w3 to DVI. The O2 uses VGA, so for an Octane I think the 13w3 has to be stepped to VGA then to DVI?

Doing SGI stuff since the last time we all partied like it's 1999.

Yeah thats what I'm doing basically. I have a vga to 13w3 adapter and then I tried either a vga to dvi but there is already also a vga cable attached to the cintiq which I tried but same issue. I seem to be missing something.
