My back-up machine has an Nvidia card bought in 2001 |
| 10 |
& it shows the opposite behaviour to yours: |
| 11 |
it refuses to display anything before X starts, |
| 12 |
but does show the console data after X is stopped. |
| 13 |
I was never able to find out why & long ago accepted it was defective. |
| 14 |
It now has Mandriva 2005, as I couldn't see to install Slackware. |
| 15 |
Your best bet mb simply to buy another card. |
