Karl,
VGAOnly isn't really a monitor driver. It's a utility that bumps up the
horizontal scan rates of the drivers, putting them closer to the normal
VGA rates. Some VGA and multiscanning monitors aren't happy with a
horizontal sync rate of 29 kHz of so (which is what you normally get with
DBLNTSC 640×400); VGAOnly increases the rate to around 31 kHz. I think it
also, as a side-effect, shrinks the overscan area a bit in some modes.
Kind of a kludge, but it takes care of potential incompatibilities.
