Have a fixed frequency color monitor that will function with one of the SVGA
modes but won't function in the others.

Is it feasible to hold the card in that mode?  In other words, can I tell
software packages that that mode is the only one available?  I was thinking
of perhaps a bit of code that would intercept calls to the card and massage
the data a bit.

Any other ideas on how I might accomplish this?

It is a 48kilohertz 1024 x 768 color monitor.  I have been told the Tseng 4000
chipset card will drive this but I would be open to other opinions or
suggestions.  Looking at Windows use, perhaps some other use.

Thanks
