No, nothing comes onto the screen until, in windows, my desktop appears, and in linux, didn't see lilo, I had to log in in the dark and call up an x session, and that comes up fine. I didn't try booting a clean dos disk, but I suspect I'll see nothing. G. Karl Hiramoto wrote:

Do you see the bios come up on the screen at all? Does lilo/grub or your bootloader come on the screen?

I just had trouble booting into linux. Tried several times, but kept getting a blank screen, so I booted windoze. I noticed that I saw nothing on the screen until I got to my windows desktop, so I tried booting to linux again, and waited for my hard drive light to stop. Then I logged in with a blank screen, called up X, and it came up fine.
Any ideas why my startup screen is missing? I haven't tried going into my bios yet, to see if it comes up on the screen. I'm not sure I remember how to get out of the bios on this machine, so I'm a little hesitant to go there. I'm not sure how to proceed, so any ideas are welcome.
Athlon 1.2G, Spacewalker AK12A motherboard, ELSA GLoria L vid card, Viewsonic A70 monitor, 256RAM.
I've got another computer here, so I could try switching monitors (not tonight).
Thanks.
Greg
