Hi, netters:
	Here is a naive question. I have a Gateway 386/20 AT with an NEC 3D
	monitor. The video card I have is an ATI VGA WONDER w/ 512KB. I plug
	them both in a 6-outlet power surge protector. However, whenever I
	turn on the switch on the protector, my computer can only recognize
	EGA mode. Then I have to do a warm boot to let it know that I have
	VGA as well. Is there a race in the power up process for the monitor
	and the computer?

	I understand that excess warm boot can hurt computer and monitor, too.
	That's why I want to solve this"problem".

Thanks in advance.

Dean
