A newer BIOS may help.	After Gateway2000 replaced the original ProDesigner
(which flaked out), the 132x* modes became usable without adjusting the
horizontal position on the monitor because the last 20 or so columns would
wrap into the retrace.	The difference: BIOS v2.2 instead of v2.1.
800x600 graphics are still shifted to the right, but never did wrap; my
nit with that mode is that the left overscan area is huge (some 250 pixels!)
and, when set to other than black, starts well before the retrace
completes (and that's even with the image area so far to the right!).
