Right.  It's coming back to me now.

In any case: 16 bit depth was the biggest depth I got it working in,
in the 1280x1024 resolution, last October.  If I tried 24 or 32, I
just got a flickering screen.

Am I running into limitations in the card?  Or is it my settings for
the monitor?

Here are my monitor settings (from the data sheet of the monitor): 

Section "Monitor"
        Identifier   "Monitor0"
        VendorName   "DEC"
        ModelName    "PCXAV-YZ"

        HorizSync   30-86
        VertRefresh 50-130
EndSection
