I'm having some problems in SVGA mode under Windows 3.1. I have a Tatung SVGA 
monitor and an OAK video card with 1 MB DRAM.  Normally, I run windows in VGA 
mode, but recently I switched to SVGA mode, using the SVGA driver that comes 
with Windows.

The problems are:

1) when in Windows, the screen is off-center (it is shifted right of center);
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
2) after switching to a DOS prompt under Windows and exiting, the screen was 
total garbage.                                                ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Can anyone help with these problems? Is it most likely a problem with the 
monitor, the video card, or the Windows SVGA driver? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
