Hi, I'm having a problem with my video that's driving me crazy.  I have a 
SVGA card (True color) based on Cirrus GD-5422 chip and a Packard Bell
1024x768 monitor (non-interlaced).  The problem is that the picture shifts on
my screen when I switch video modes.  Some examples:
640x480 -- looks fine
800x600x64k -- Picture is shifted to the right, off the screen
800x600x256 -- picture is centered but really small (half-size)
etc.
I had this problem before so the company said I could try a new video card and
this is what I got.  About the same result as before (This is my second card
and my second monitor, same problems)  The manufacturer (WANG -- about the 
worst service I have ever received said "It's an incompatability between your
monitor and the card).  I still find this hard to believe.  Can anyone help???
I would appreciate any ideas!!!!
Matt
