A friend just gave me a Packard Bell 1401S 14" SVGA monitor. According to
what documentation I can find, it's supported resolutions and refresh rates
are:

   1024 X 768 at 87 Hz Interlaced
   800 X 600 at 60 Hz Non-Interlaced
   800 X 600 at 56 Hz Non-Interlaced with the S3 chipset
   640 X 480 at 72 Hz Non-Interlaced

The horizontal and vertical refresh rate ranges are listed as "NA" (sounds
like Packard Bell, no?). Can someone recommend a safe setting for this
monitor?

I'm leaning toward the Generic 800x600 tube (are there any limitations
inherent in this setting?), or the Generic Multisync 65Hz.

Thanks!

640-480 at 65 Hz worked. Looks old, but I can't complain.
