X seems to run, but in wrong video mode


Hello!

I have followed the instructions for running X on Windows NT (4.0,
SP6).  In fact, when I run STARTXWIN.BAT, the X screen seems to come
up.  The problem is, the monitor is being driven too fast.

I have a Diamond Viper V330 video card with 4MB of RAM.  The
STARTXWIN.BAT is set for the following:

start XWin -screen 8 1024x768x16 -whitepixel 255 -blackpixel 0 

My monitor only supports 60Hz refresh at 1024x768, and the mode X is
using is higher.  I tried modifying the above line to say both
640x480x16 and 640x480x8, to no avail.  I also got desperate and tried
changing the screen 8 to various (random) digits, also with no effect.

How do I change the screen mode and refresh?  I've tried building an
XF86Config, but I don't know where to put it (or whether it's even
attempting to read such a file).

Thank you very much for whatever help you could give me.
