Xbox 360 on ViaGrA (VGA)

Since getting the xbox 360, I've had it hooked up to my old 27" RCA standard def TV. I believe the TV model is an RCA Crapola.

So I undertook to hook it up to a computer monitor (a 21" Samtron) where at least I could get some decent resolution.

I took the cable that came with the Xbox360 and spliced it to an old VGA extender cable I had laying around.

here's the pic of the Xbox360 pinouts:
