This is a very simple configuration problem.  Your friend needs to run the
ATI Graphics Ultra setup program (with ALL memory managers deactivated!!!).
This will allow him to set the screen postion for every resolution, along
with refresh rates, etc.  His current problem is that the screen centering
differs for DOS mode and whatever Windows resolution he's using.  After
setting things up the way he wants them, he can tell the ATI program to
save the information in its EEPROM.

If the 486SX system does not come with the ATI GU, then either the card
it comes with has such setup options or he is out of luck.
