I have an ATI 8mb video charger and a Compaq presario 1525 monitor from
one of my older systems (1997 is the age of the monitor).
 I tried the XConfigure and I couldn't find it. So do I go into any
console and type in the code? Because I did that and it didn't work.
Anyway I'll keep looking thanks.
