Is the video card NUBUS? I'm not that familiar with the internals of an se30, however the 832x624 resolution and separate sync makes the card sound like one of the NUBUS video cards made to run either a mac portrait or two page display. Look at the video out connection. If it looks like it takes a cable with two large pins on one side, 10 in the middle, and 1 more large pin on the end then it has the 13w3 type connection some of these video cards came with for that monitor. Either way the resolution is correct for either a portrait or two page display. These weren't very common for macs, so apple and a few other vendors offered special video cards for the display.
