Thanks; this worked. By correcting the HorizSync and VertRefresh to
those in the manual, all screen sizes and all refresh rates became
available. What a difference!
Odd how various screen sizes were absent until these two values were
corrected. For example, 1280x1024, which is now available at 60Hz - the
only refresh rate available before the fix - was absent before.
