I created a suitable MDF for the monitor (Eizo F55) when I bought the 
Iyonix in 2003.  It's just that at boot up the initial screen is 
oversize and offset to the right.  The implication of your message is 
that there is no way round this.  It is trivial, I know, since as Boot 
progresses my MDF takes over.  (BTW MonitorType is set to 1)
