You wanna do the monitor justice? Don't use AGA. Get a gfx card!!! I don't
care if you can't afford one!! Get one dirt cheap on Amibench or something.

Yes. If your are using an external scandoubler/flixer then you should be
able to get those Multiscan modes anyway. Put VGAOnly AND Multiscan in
Devs:Monitors. Both can be found in SYS:Storage/Monitors.
However, if you're using an internal one then you can't and will need the
23pin-VGA adaptor.

Well Multiscan displays at about 29khz. Which would give you the "out of
range" message. However, with VGAonly running you should be able to get
31.44khz which will display.
It all depends on the scandoubler. External will work with VGA modes,
Internal ones don't.

Well start saving. I'd love a graphics card but I'm currently saving for
something else.
