[WBEL-users] configuring X when it's not running

[John Lowry]

Great to be on a list again with good friendly help.  I'll try your

Monitor's an LG Flatron 776, the card an ASUS.  I'll have to open up
the box for the exact card model...it's an A7000.

The monitor and card worked with RHEL 2.1, but the monitor I know wants
a lower frequency than is frequently defaulted.
