Hmm. My monitor has "PS/1" emblazoned(sp?) on the front of it.
I can use it in any graphics mode that my 1Mb Cirrus Logic 543x can put
out. The only time/place it doesn't work is under DOS (4.xx-7.xx) when I
haven't loaded the set-refresh-rate drivers (and they came with the
graphics card)...
If you've got a Cirrus Card, you have the programs CLMODE.EXE and
WINMODE.EXE (for Win3.xx), and when my monitor cacked at 1024x768x256
under '95, all I had to do was load them in, using my Win3.xx settings.
(43Hz Interlaced).
Incidentally, Matt, welcome to the world of paragraphs! :)
