  Did you try messing with the tvgacrtc program?  My cheapo trident
8900 came with it and it allows you to set vertical spacing and
other settings for individual resolutions.  Much better than the
programs that came with my tseng based card.
  I'm using a Viewsonic 6 with my card and am VERY pleased.  I run
OS/2 at 1024x768 without straining my eyes at all.  I like the
Viewsonic image quality better than the CTX I was also considering.
