Hi,
I've just installed Yellowdog Linux 4 on my Pegasos. I've only just managed to get it to work because every time I tried to boot it it would get to the point where it loads the X server and I'd get a blank screen.
I've managed to get into Linux now by using the VGA port on my graphics card (Radeon 9250) instead of the DVI port. I have had similar problems with Windows, so I think the monitor (an LCD TV, Acer AL2671W) isn't reporting to the system that it has a DVI port. (Incidentally, MorphOS seems to work fine through DVI, presumably because it doesn't auto-detect the monitor's capabilities.)
Is there any way to force the drivers to use the DVI port? I only ask because I currently use my Windows box through VGA, so I'd like to keep using my Pegasos through DVI (to save messing around with switch boxes etc.)
Thanks in advance.

Think you need to add the following line to your xorg.conf in the Section "Device"
| Code: | | Option "MonitorLayout" "TMDS" |
