New Install. Can't get any display. Help, please.

Hi guys. I've just reinstalled AOS 4.1 update 1. My A1XE has a habit of eating HDD's. Can't wait until the X1000 comes out!

When I come to reboot, I get the splash screen, then - nothing!

When I chose my video resolutions at install, I chose 1280 x 1024 as my max, 'cos my main monitor will handle that but my eyes won't handle anything bigger.

I've tried wiping the system partition and reformatting, then reinstalling with 1024 x 768 as my choice but still nothing.

If I load the CD and run that as a live system, in Monitors / Radion (I've got a 9250) on my System partition it shows my resolutions fine. In Screenmodes, it just shows FakeNative 640 x 400 and Picasso Screenmodes, all of 640 x 400.

If I try and change anything, it obviously wants me to save changes, but then tells me that AOS4 CD is write protected (Obviously, seeing as I'm running the live CD).

Hi, it might be worth trying to set a lower resolution during install (say 640 x 480) and see if it boot into that screen, then go to prefs and try the resolution you want to run, would try the 'test' function just to make sure all is well!

When you boot from the CD what resolution is that? Might be worth trying that resolution as you know it works okay.

When I chose my video resolutions..
What's the hardwires; APG or PCI ?
You maybe missing a connection...
AGP config in UBoot should show -> Enable AGP
If your using a PCI gfx card and it's set in UBoot monitor to PCI. I'm using a ATI Sapphire 9250 PCI.
