[gentoo-user] Changed monitor and even the BIOS screen doesn't show up.

[Dale]

Hi,

I am in the process of switching from the old rig to the new rig.  While 
doing the install I was using a Gateway EV700 monitor and it worked 
fine.  I unhooked the cables from my old rig and moved in the new rig.  
The new monitor is a Gateway EV910.  When I boot with the Gateway EV910 
hooked up, it doesn't even come out of power saver mode or show the BIOS 
screen that pops up when I first turn the puter on.  It does work with 
the one I used to install with, EV700.  So, I know the card didn't mess 
up in the switch.

Since it doesn't even work with the BIOS screen, this is not a OS 
issue.  Is there some setting I have to change to be able to change 
monitors or am I just going nuts here?  What is it about hooking up a 
different monitor that makes it not work?   Both monitors support the 
same resolutions and I have switched these before with my old rig and 
not a single problem.

What am I missing?  Some new feature that the video card remembers what 
monitor it is supposed to hook up to?

Thoughts?  Fixes would be nice.
