..a wee trick I use on my old _fried_ Sony GDM-2038:
vga=795 screen=1600x1200 vsync=59.  That is what it needs to 
start syncing 1/3'rd off to the left side.  No, it wont sync _anything_ 
else that I'm aware of.  And, leaving out vga=795 or vsync=59, 
means you get some blurry light.  I did say _fried_.  ;-)
