Benjamin,

Thanks for your reply.

I haven't tried the serial console. I'll have to look into what
adapter I might need to try that. I vaguely see the startup text and
that it fails on things like nfs mounting and so forth (because it's
not hooked up to a network). I see that it tries to start X and I see
the typical X cursor, but then it switches back to console.

OK, I wasn't familiar with the EVC connector. It looks similar to a
DVI.

If I had to guess, I would say that it's probably a broken card then.
The display is garbled before it ever even tries to start UNIX, in the
boot manager, etc. That may be the reason why it was given to me for
free. :-)
