The best torture for interlaced hi-res is selecting WEAVE.BMP as your
wallpaper!  YOW!!  :-)

How's this for irony: I have 1024x768x{16,256} available non-interlaced
any time I want it, given this combo of Tseng4000 video card and NEC 4D
monitor; but I stay with interlaced even so!  Why?  Because otherwise,
the monitor constantly >KLICK<s loudly every time I switch to a window
in text mode, or launch a DosApp.  I guess there's a relay involved in
the scan rate switch.  I just can't stand it!  I'd rather put up with a
teeny bit of flicker now and then.  It actually seems to help legibility
a bit on small fonts.  Non-interlaced isn't quiiiite as focused.
Probably a quirk of the hardware.
