Matrox G550.  I thought I remembered something strange about the
550, I have the 450 in one box.

I presume you are using the digital, rather than the analog connector.
According to Matrox, that card does a max of 1280x1024 digital.
Strangely, it can do 2048 x 1536 analog.

Time for a different card?
