This is the second time I have seen this comment (that the Seiko monitor
supports 800x600 resolution modes).  The one on my desk rolls terribly
when I try to bring up 800x600 on any of my STB cards (as well as on the
Genoa and Video 7 cards).  It is one of the first ones sold in this
country, is it possible they have redesigned it?  Could someone who has
used it in 800x600 mode identify the video board and (if necessary) the
driver(s) used?  I like it a lot, and if it can be used in this mode
STB should be supporting it.

Thanks,
