john...
thanks for getting back to me. i had actually tried both... i screwed up at 1st, and then found an example...
unfortunately, it didn't work...
my grub.conf file is:
----------------------------------------------------- [root@lserver4 etc]# cat grub.conf # grub.conf generated by anaconda # # Note that you do not have to rerun grub after making changes to this file # NOTICE: You have a /boot partition. This means that # all kernel and initrd paths are relative to /boot/, eg. # root (hd0,0) # kernel /vmlinuz-version ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 rhgb quiet # initrd /initrd-version.img #boot=/dev/hda
# #b douglas added params to kernel line.. due to boot without monitor #
default=0 timeout=5 splashimage=(hd0,0)/grub/splash.xpm.gz hiddenmenu title Fedora Core (2.6.9-1.667) root (hd0,0) kernel /vmlinuz-2.6.9-1.667 ro root=/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 quiet noprobe skipddc initrd /initrd-2.6.9-1.667.img
#linux noprobe skipddc nofb vga=0 ------------------------------------------------------------
as i said, i plug the monitor, it works... i unplug the monitor, it hangs..
it's seriously frustrating... and there are no BIOS options that i can manipulate..
so.. any clues/suggestions would be helpful.

Very strange indeed. Perhaps upgrading to a newer kernel might help. Looks like you are still running the original FC3 kernel. I know that
one has trouble with the Intel 810 chipset (I've seen enough messages
about it), maybe there are fixes for the 815 in newer ones as well, I
don't know. It's worth a shot at least.
The version currently in rawhide is broken again for the 815 graphics card.
I am going to try the version in testing for FC3 to see if it is alright later. The rawhide version is a no go.
Regarding Bruce's problem, I suspect that booting into runlevel 3 instead of 5 might resolve the monitor issue. Either that or selecting a generic monitor.
I never had to add any additional options to boot up with the 815 graphics card.
