The monitor in question is an IBM T750 17" LCD which has a
native resolution of: 1280x1024 running in 32bit colour. In all
other aspects, I've found it to be a very nice monitor.

Ahh.  I think I'll need to do a little bit of research here, see what my
ATI tuner card is using and see what else is out there using the
chipset you mention.  Perhaps there are enough differences in the
chipsets to warrant having a look at a different card.

Thank you all for your continued ideas!
