I am tearing my hair out :-)

Does anyone have a Samsung SyncMaster 3 monitor working with XFree86?
If it matches the frequencies of the trident tvga card all the better.

Failing that can you help me with the following questions

1) what are the implications of having a multisync monitor?

2) Do the clock frequencies have to be integer values in the Xconfig?

3) Sometimes when I run startx I get a randomised screen before I get an 
error about the server being killed or dying.  Other times there is no
screen fireworks but the same message.  Which is nearer to what I want?

thank you
