Here is the problem:

    I have an original NEC multisync monitor, with which I am running a
Trident based card in 800x600 mode.  Whenever I switch between 800x600
mode and text mode (80x25) I have to adjust the v-hold.  I called up NEC
and asked them about this, and they told me it is a hardware problem in
the monitor, since the engineers didn't even know about Super VGA back
then.

    SO, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas to fix this.  It really
is a pain to keep having to adjust v-hold.

    I was also wondering if it is natural that I have adjust v-size when
switching between any VGA graphics mode and text mode.


Thanks for any help!
