I've just got a new ATI VGA Wonder card, and am using it with a NEC Multisync
3D monitor.  My problem is that the ATI card doesn't consistently 
recognize the monitor as a Multisync:  about half the time, it thinks I
have an EGA, and the other half, a Multisync.

Does anyone else out there with this combination know about any settings
in either place that will fix this?  The NEC manual doesn't mention ATI,
and the ATI doesn't mention the 3D, so I don't have any direct instructions
on how to set either one up.  What I've done is to tell the card I have
a Multisync, and set the monitor with "Mode" on, and "Color" auto, but
other settings work just as well on the monitor, and the card seems to be
ignoring what I tell it.

Alternatively, does anyone know of any way in software to tell the ATI card
that I've got a different type of monitor than it sensed?  Once it thinks
I have an EGA, it refuses to act as a VGA, even if I run the VCONFIG program.
