In my experience, the "way" to get an LCD working is to just hook it
up (across five machines - I currently have two LXes and two SS20s in
live use with flatscreens and had a SS5 or SS4, I forget which, working
with one of them in the past).  However...

...I've seen it said that there are multiple incompatible 13W3 video
pinouts, so an adapter designed for company A's use of 13W3 may well
not work with company B's 13W3 device (where here company B is Sun and
company A is unknown, at least unknown to us on the list).

All the "Just Works" cases I have experience with have been using
13W3-to-DE15 adapters designed for Suns.  I can buzz one out and report
on the pinout, though that might not actually help you in practice.
