I have a NEC Multisync 2A which I use with a Video 7 Fastwrite VGA.
When I try to run the monitor in 800x600 mode as well as some other
hi-res modes (740x560 or something like that) my display suddenly
shrinks and is no longer centered.  I then have to manually adjust the
size and position of the display and even then I can't always expand
it to occupy the whole screen.

Moreover, when the monitor is in 800x600 mode the display seems to
wobble, as if ocean waves where moving though it.  This effect is
especially evident when a cross-hatch pattern (one dot on, on dot off)
is displayed on the screen.

Are these problems due to a defective sync chip in my monitor?  And if
they are, is there an easy/inexpensive way to fix it?

Thanks,
 -Mike.
