Monitor problems in dos mode

I had an awful time trying to make a newer plug'n'play monitor work.
Exactly the same problem. In fact, that's why it was sitting in the
"take it
home, it doesn't work, and we can buy a new one for less than repair
costs"
area.

It became completely functional when I put Win98 on my W95 machine.
I doon't recall for sure, I may have put an older (and always 100
percent
compatible) S3 Virge video card in.

It has to do with putting the monitor to sleep, not the fact that it's
turning
into an electrostatic dust precipitator.... /mark
