This is a older monitor. It only has the DB-15 connector and the power |
| 50 |
cord of course. This is funny tho. I booted the new puter with the |
| 51 |
EV700 monitor hooked up. I logged into KDE and once it was running, I |
| 52 |
cut off the power to the old monitor and unhooked the cable from the |
| 53 |
puter. I then hooked up the EV910 monitor and cut on its power. It |
| 54 |
works. Thing is, if I reboot, it does the same thing again. No BIOS |
| 55 |
screen or anything. Weird huh? |
| 56 |
|
| 57 |
I may cut everything off, remove the video card from the system and see |
| 58 |
if there is a button or battery on it. Maybe that will do something, |
| 59 |
reset if nothing else. For those keeping up, even the BIOS screen |
| 60 |
doesn't show up so this is not Gentoo, grub or anything. It's just weird. |
| 61 |
|
| 62 |
Open to other ideas tho. This is the weirdest thing I have seen in a |
| 63 |
while. |
