I have an NEC Multisync GS-2A monitor, which has a maximum resolution of
800 by 600 noninterlaced.  I am driving it with an ATI VGA Wonder.  Is
there any way that I can get 132 columns out of this combination?  The
ATI card will do 132 columns on a variety of monitors, including TTL mono-
chrome, RGB, EGA, and multisync.  However, the way it drives multisync
monitors at 132 colums exceeds the maximum scan rate on the GS-2A.  Since
my monitor can display EGA resolutions, it seems that it should be capable of
doing the EGA-like 132 columns, but I don't see how to tell my card to do
this.  My monitor supports three vertical scan rates: 56hz, 60hz, and 70hz;
and two horizontal scan rates: 31.5hz and 35hz.
