Just for the archives: the problem turned out to be the DisplayPort cable |
| 9 |
still being plugged in. Once I pulled that out, I had normal video over DVI. |

DisplayPort had been acting up in Windows to begin with. After I built the |
| 13 |
PC, it worked normally for quite a while, but at some it stopped working in |
| 14 |
Windows (only in Windows), so I had to fall back to DVI which, on Intel |
| 15 |
Graphics, means 30 fps. |

The Windows AMD software tells me that it can't establish a link. Perhaps |
| 18 |
the cable is at fault. |
