That's going to be big news for the Video7 (Headland) people,
Dion, because they think the 1024i will only do 1024x768 in
interlace mode.  :-)  In fact, the 'i' in '1024i' stands for
interlace. 

And on top of all that, I can tell you for sure that the update
UB drivers drive it in interlace, because I have one and I've
tried it.

Incidently, I tried 1024x768 interlace on my NEC 4d and Video7
1024i, and there are two problems: a) the flicker on the short-
phosphor 4d is unacceptable, and b) even if there was no
flicker, I'm pretty sure that the writing would be too small
and fuzzy for this 16" monitor.  I recommend 20" or above and
at least medium persistence phosphors...
