ATI Wonder/ SVGA monitor blues...

Howdy,

	I recently purchased a Samsun SyncMaster 3 SVGA monitor from USA Flex.
I have an ATI Wonder SVGA care (512K, 16 color version), and have developed
a few problems, which I can't figure out, and dunno whether to goto USA flex
about it (I bought the card elsewhere).

	The problem arose after I was messing around with the setup to
work with the monitor.  At one time, I had a configuration that worked
*perfectly*.  BW GIFs were clear as a bell, and color gifs were smooth as
silk.  The problem at that time was that I couldn't get a .GL with grafport
to work correctly, and instead of thinking about a corrupted GL or bad
version of grafport, I went back to messing around with the EEPROM setup.

	Now the BW gifs look like very nice EGA, but not VGA.  The GIFs
that looked slick as possible look like high res EGA as well...for the
life I me, I cannot figure where I went wrong, and have gone back through
nearly every monitor configuration in the VSETUP program.

	I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas, advice, and maybe could either 
tell me where or give me the latest versions (if they exist) of the ATI
Wonder vga utilities.

Thanks a lot ...
