NEC 4FG is a Multisynch monitor, right ? This means that it will support
XGA's noninterlaced modes.
XGA-2 can be run in interlaced and non-interlaced mode.
To enable XGA-2's non-interlaced mode, certain pins in the connector has to be
connected together.
Your problem is probably that you're running your XGA-2 in interlaced mode!
Solution: #1 Get a suitable video cable with an XGA-2 plug that has *all* the
pins required (and connected) for non-interlaced mode operation.
#2 If 1) doesn't help - have your monitor serviced!
I assume you're using the drivers shipped with your XGA-2 video card (or maybe
the ones that are on your system's reference disk).
