I've been fiddling around with my netbooting terminal lately and have
noticed that when connected to my Sun monitor the picture tends to
"wobble".  That is, it looks as though a wave is passing up the screen
about every second, slightly distorting the picture.  I created a
custom /lib/vgadb entry for my monitor (a Sun CPD-4410 CRT) based on
values I gathered with xvidtune, but while it works fine under Linux,
my eyes are aching from the few minutes of using it with Plan 9.  I am
attempting to run at 1600x1200x32; the vgadb entry follows.

#
# Sony CPD-4410 CRT
#
cpd-4410=1600x1200
	defaultclock=161.00
	shb=1664 ehb=1856 ht=2160
	vrs=1201 vre=1204 vt=1250


Any ideas what's going wrong here?  Oh, and I have an nvidia video
card, if that helps.
