20 I tried both of these ideas, separately and together. Seem to be getting
21 closer. Instead of a blank screen I get random coloured vertical bars on
22 parts of the screen. Still get this:
23
24 (II) RADEON(0): Primary:
25 Monitor -- TMDS
26 Connector -- DVI-D
27 DAC Type -- TVDAC/ExtDAC
28 TMDS Type -- Internal
29 DDC Type -- VGA_DDC
30 (II) RADEON(0): Secondary:
31 Monitor -- CRT
32 Connector -- VGA
33 DAC Type -- Primary
34 TMDS Type -- External
35 DDC Type -- DVI_DDC
36
37 Should note here, there is no VGA connector on the card. There is a DVI
38 connector (the one I am using) and the one that looks like DVI, but bigger,
39 ADC I think?

44 Still no joy. Sorry for taking so long to get back to the list, I had to go
45 out...
