I have a "dual sync" monitor, which is similar to a multisync monitor,
and it *is* capable of handling the super VGA bandwidth (1024x768x256).
Yet my CSHOW, like other people's, has trouble in some modes using
my TVGA adapter.  So like Hanjo, I can attest that it is not the
monitor that is the problem.  I don't know what the problem is, but
if there is a solution, I would love to hear it.
