I have a Gateway 2000 386SX machine.  The video card is an ATI VGAWONDER card
and the monitor is a multisync monitor that is capable of 1024x768.  The specs
on the monitor say that it is capable of 960x680 (or something like that)
non-interlaces and 1024x768 interlaced.

My problem is that when I used the ATI driver for 800x600 mode I get a wavy
effect on the screen.  I was told that this is due to CHEAP interlace.
However, when I use the driver for 1024x768 mode the screen comes up fine.
Is it possible to have the board use 800x600 mode non-interlaced?  HELP!!


Thanks in advance
