[Gregory Czerniak]

Sorry...the file is called config.txt in /boot (at least in Raspbian).
Here's a link to all relevant settings:

hdmi_safe = 1 may also be useful (it also sets hdmi_force_hotplug to 1).

I picked up some HDML to VGA converters but they will not work with the old monitors.  When I use the same converter with a newer monitor that uses both VGA and DVI it works fine even though I'm using the same cables and converter.
