I have a CRT monitor and I just bought a LCD monitor.
My video card is x800xl which supports dual monitor, how do I get both monitor to work?

The other thing is, the new monitor I bought has DVI, but I don't see a hole in my video card I can plug into with the DVI cable, does it mean it doesn't support that type of connection to monitor?

A hole? You should have two dvi dongle thingies on the back of the x800xl card. Or 1 dvi 1 vga. If you have 2 dvi, youll have to get a dvi-vga adaptor for the crt. You set the monitor style by right clicking on the screen then properties. Good luck
