From time to time. I've had this CRT for many years and never seen it before I put this box together the other week. It's a Sun GDM-5410 21" trinitron, the card is a XFX 5770 running whatever came off ATI's site for drivers as of two or three weeks ago.
It got hung up in windows (7) and I ended up having to boot it with the monitor unplugged, then plug in monitor, install VNC, reboot, and use VNC to access it while it had the monitor out of range. I corrected the settings and all has been well in windows.
I think there is a hardware problem because it does the exact same thing trying to boot Linux, any of three flavors I've tried.
I suspect it is an DDC/EDID problem, but don't know that there is anything to be done about it.
Thoughts?
