yes.  I'm a little stumped what would cause this; nothing I've tried will
reproduce it.  Anyone have any ideas?

this is all correct.

I've only gotten my monitor to sync in 800x600 once with this driver, and
nothing higher has ever worked.  

As Isaac said, I get the full width of text; the 'repeated columns' problem
doesn't happen on my machine.

Incidentally, I'm having a different problemr:
On the right half or so of the screen in 640x480 mode, some of the columns of
text are messed up.  the pixels in these columns turn on and off rapidly,
and sometimes show up about 5 columns to the left of where they should be.
the effect seems to be aligned with the text, but it shows up in the graphical
GGI demos too.  I guess this might be happening on other peoples' machines too,
except that they aren't seeing the right part of the screen at all.

any ideas from the gurus out there?
