I posted this in the Video forum, but I think it probably belongs in here instead.
I have an Apple 23" Cinema Display running off of a XFX 6800GT. I can't get this stupid monitor to display my BIOS information on boot.
I bought the display back in November of last year, but it hasn't really bothered me until recently when I was installing Longhorn Beta 1. It gets annoying having to have my old CRT hooked up to the VGA port on my card just so that I can see what I'm doing.
I searched around on Google and found a message that eVGA tech support wrote to some guy: "Scott, The card relies on info provided by the EDID in order to display to the monitor. The video card requires a minimum refresh rate of 60hz over DVI and certain monitors actually have a refresh rate that is lower, for example 58hz. Usually this information is provided by the EDID and unfortunately there is not a way for the card to ignore the EDID. eVGA.com Customer Service."
Is there a way to manually override or ignore the EDID information on boot? Or any way at all to get this thing to work beyond buying a new video card with dual DVI out?
