I've tested it on a Speedstar 24X without any problems. This is just at
640x480. Apparently the clock synth works normally at this resolution. I
haven't tried it at any higher resolutions (My moniter can only do VGA).
Once I get a better moniter, I'll either tear the video bios apart to get
those clock signals (either that or put my prodesigner II back into the
computer)
