G200 AGP unable to display DOS/Linux
This just happened today. I put in my friend's G400 to make sure it works (it didn't work with his motherboard). It worked fine, we played a little q3, I stuck my G200 back in...and when i turned on the machine my monitor just stayed in standby.
My machine made its way into windows, and around the time when it would load powerdesk the monitor turned on and display was fine.
I can't open dos prompts in Windows though (monitor goes black, i have to reset), and linux doesn't work at all (if i start X the monitor goes into its turned on mode but there's no display). Basically it can't display unless powerdesk is running (my monitor stays in its standby mode all other times). So i figured the bios was the problem.
Well i updated twice, once with one sent to me by a matrox tech support guy, the other with bios 1_04 from their site. Neither helped. Think i am gonna have to send it in for a new one or has anyone heard of this before?
