Re: Blank screen - Video card problem

Hi everybody!

My operating system works pretty well. After FBA all hardware devices
are installed and everything seems to be ok. However something strange
appears when I disconnect the screen from the motherboard. Although the
operating system starts up ok without the screen, when I connect the
screen again to the VGA, I cannot see anything in the screen. I mean,
the operating system starts up, but I got a wonderful blank screen. I
have to use F8 when the operating system is starting, and choose
"Enable VGA mode" to see something (in fact, when I do this, the
resolution has changed to 640x480, and if I try to change it again to
800x600, I got a blank screen again, and I have to turn off the
computer because there is nothing a I can do to change this behavior).

Any advice? I've included a component with the driver of the video
card, and the "display control panel" component. Am I forgetting
something?

Thank you very much for your help!

I had a similar issue which was caused by the machine assuming that if there was nothing connected to the VGA that I wanted to use the onboard flat panel thingyummy which I don't think even had a connector. It was eventually fixed with a BIOS update.
