Yes.  I do it all over the place with whatever monitor I manage to
extricate from a Microsoft environment.

Somebody's collecting this stuff.  I lost the URL, but I should follow
up.  In general, I have to settle for 1024x768, since most laptops
won't go any higher, and that's pretty straightforward.  About the
only thing I have to tweak is the horizontal frequency.  Just about
any monitor will do 36 kHz, and that's enough for 1024x768 in
interlace mode.
