- This seems correct. An SVGA monitor will only sync from 30/31kHz upwards.
- Some will give a display with something like 29kHz., but not all. Your's is
- probably one that won't. The VGAOnly monitor driver ups the sync rate a bit
- so that SVGA monitors can display the screenmodes. My Smile 15" monitor won't
- even display Multiscan modes with the VGAOnly driver, dispite it being able to
- sync down to 30kHz. I now use a CV64 card, and is amazing!
