I'm trying to use this old AOC monitor with this, however there's a problem: through VGA, it doesn't seem to like displaying anything on it!

I think the problem is that, for whatever reason, it won't save my display settings. The reason I've reached that conclusion is that, when I connect my 20-something inch modern-ish monitor, it doesn't have any issues with picking up its resolution of 1920x1080, but it seems to always like to default to a refresh rate of 75Hz. Thing is, the AOC monitor doesn't like that refresh rate! The damn thing uses some oddball refresh rate (I think 73Hz?) but also works fine with 60Hz that... the Mac just never wants to default to!

How do I force the Mac to always default to 1024x768 but at 60Hz?
