        I've tested a Taxan 795 on an A540. The monitor is not capable of
displaying the 'normal' screenmodes, modes 18, 19, 20, 21, 27, 28 and the
new super VGA mode 31 will work ok. In modes 18, 19, 20 and 21 the right
and left edges are not straight.
        The 24/36 MHz VIDC clock on the A540 is switched automatically
to 36 MHz when needed (mode 31). If I knew a call to switch the clock
from 24 to 36 MHz when the display is in the not working modes, perhaps
the 795 will lock them succesfully.
        One more strange feature of the 795 is a thin black horizontal
line about 2 inches from the bottom of the screen. Very annoying when you
are in the desktop and know the line is there. I was told this is common
with the sony trinitron tube.
