I nuked my old monitor section and replaced it with this one.  It seemed
to tighten up some of the problems, but it's still unusable, it still appears
as if the Horizontal and Vertical Refresh rates are wrong.  (I'm not 
suggesting they are, that's just the best way to describe the problem)..

Also, when I changed my mode line to be:
	Modes "640x480" "800x600" "1024x768" "1088x832" "1104x848"

The server gave an error telling me that the virtual screen size can
never exceed 1024.  So I removed the last two entries and it ran fine
but I still had the above problem in all three modes.
