Probably the manual was written pre-VGA.

It should handle the standard VGA resolutions. PGA was (is)
640x480x256, which is kind of at the limit of what a standard VGA will
do, even with extra memory. Yes, a real IBM will (usually) do 800x600,
but the 1024x768 modes are not part of all VGAs. I would expect your
monitor to function well with STANDARD modes. Note that my original
Multisync will support these extended modes, even though I have to tweak
the controls. The new models will sync right in.
