Traditionally, "fixed frequency" has meant that the monitor
can only sync to horizontal sync rates within a certain small
window - That it's not a multisync monitor.
60-80 kHz isn't as fixed as I'm used to seeing in fixed
frequency monitors, but it's still alot less than my ViewSonic
multisync monitor which is 30-108 kHz. I had a Sony monitor
from an IBM workstation that would only sync from about 60-63 kHz.
Still, given the specs of the "semi-fixed" monitor above,
it won't sync in the bios bootup screen. But with things like
doublescanning, you'll get it to sync to modes all the way
down to 480x360 in X. It will probably do 1600x1200 only
in interlaced modes.
