Ted, Collins and Chris:

All good suggestions.  Thanks very much.    

I can download XFree86 4.2 and install it, and give the video card 
another chance.  This is probably the best course to follow.	

After examining /etc/X11/XF86Config-4, I think I could edit that sucker 
and come a helluva lot closer than the install program did, just by 
substituting the specs from my monitor manual.  I know the video card 
and monitor both support 800x600, 24 bit color SVGA non-interlaced, 72 
Hz mode.  

But XFree86 4.2 is the surest fix.

Keeping a copy of XF86Config after a successful shakedown, is an 
excellent idea.

Thanks, all.

73 de Glenn
