That's what I've never been able to figure out how to do. These half
smart monitors light up with massive barrel and trapezoid and horizontal
and vertical error every time you plug in a different PC or OS or video
card. With OS/2, I can set manually to 60 or 72, set each monitor sizing
correctly for those two rates, and always have whatever monitor I plug
in work OK.
