If only life was that easy. I'm afraid there's things like the mortgage,
electric bills etc. that have to be paid. :)

I can get the the Multiscan and VGA modes working, but they're tha same
resolution and flicker. The only higher mode I can get is 640x960 which not
only looks daft but flickers like mad. I was hoping using some of the modes
like DoublePal etc. That I'd be able to get something like 800x600 but it
doesn't look like it's possible.
