FAQ: Why do I need to Identify my Fixed Frequency monitor as a Standard SVGA monitor?

You are identifying your monitor as a "Standard Super VGA" monitor, because:

A) If using a Fixed Frequency monitor, Windows will not try to take over your monitor's control and interrupt the video card's delicate task to provide the necessary refresh rate to maintain PC compatibility with your particular monitor.
B) Windows developers do not consider a workstation monitors as a "mainstream CRT", so they do not bother with providing ".inf" files for them. By the way, there is no disadvantage setting up your fixed frequency monitor as a Standard SVGA unit, as you will find out when finished with setting up your Fixed Scan monitor.
