So can you define vgasize=640x480[1,2,4] in you plan9.ini file?

The reason I ask is because I define it 
monitor=vga
vgasize=640x480x1 or 8 

The problem I get is that the screen wraps.  I do not know why.  I have a 
Diamond SpeedStar PRO VLB and a GoldStar Standard VGA monitor. 

I look in all the vgadb definitions for the h-sync, v-sync, clock rate, 
and bandwidth and compared them to my xwindows configuration and it is all 
exact can anyone tell me why my monitor is wrapping?

In need of guidence.
