<br>is at a too-low resolution or refresh rate. The tv/monitor gets the text mode screen <br>signal but it stays in sleep / standby mode until the 'right' resolution / refresh rate<br>is detected. <br><br>If you use the vesafb stuff for the kernel and boot into a highter resoultion, your
<br>text mode stuff may work. i use something like: <br>video=nvidiafb vga=791<br>on my grub.conf kernel line. you'd use video=vesafb if you don't have the nvidia <br>drivers.... <br>This will give you somehting like a 1024x768 startup display and it should
<br>get your monitor / tv active in text mode. <br><br>jack <br><br><br><br> </div></div><br>
