Yea its all a black box to me so I won't begin to speculate.  I did have two questions:
What are software are people using to configure screen geometry?  I hate having to go in there and adjust things on the control board.  I don't have a frame of reference to orient it.

How do you edit the monitor specs?  The ones listed don't quite fit, as the screens don't fill my makvision.  The ones listed aren't exactly the correct ones.

Calamity:
Good to hear that d3d worked. It seems like a buggy v-sync support for the ddraw side, either from the card or the drivers. I shouldn't have been so categoric about the CPU, there's always room for unexpected stuff ;)

My advice is to use Arcade_OSD and its geometry menus to find your monitor timings. Basically you play with the centering and border (porch) size until you get a picture that fits. Then you use the timings obtained to build your monitor_specs line, it's just a matter of copying the values.

This only works for horizontal geometry. You won't be able to adjust vertical size with modelines (software), but Arcade_OSD can help you to find your optimal vertical values so the capacity of your monitor is not "wasted" in unnecesary blanking lines.

Once you have the values I can help you build the monitor_specs line.

PD: Sorry, I edited your post by mistake.

I adjust the pots on the remote control.  Looks like the image bends in the upper right hand corner... could be a monitor issue. So it appears that the games I will be playing are in CGA so it makes sense to edit the 640x480 interlace .  I did that and the screen fills correctly all the way when playing MK2.  Those specs are V 59.96 and H 15.919.  The porch did nothing when i adjusted it.

I assume Ill have to use -tripplebuffer for the vertical games because those run at 80%.  And Robot ron 2084 for instance is not displayed correct at all.  Maybe adjust them individually in ArcadeOSD? 

Brb. Playing Rolling Thunder. :)
