Thanks.
I find it strange that you can not view the virtual consoles on
digital out. I have no problems with it here. Are you saying that if
you hit <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<F1> that you get a blank screen or something?
Right. On boot, the first thing I see displayed is gdm (or the NVidia
logo if I use that driver). <Ctrl>-<Alt>-<F1> takes me to a blank screen.
I'm a bit more familiar with the nvidia driver and the logs that it produces....
A while back, over 2 years ago, I had a similar problem. I had a SyncMaster
172T and a ViewSonic VG800b and an Nvidia based card with an analog and
digital output. When using a single monitor, I pretty sure I found myself
using only the analog. But, when I went to a dual head setup the digital
out worked just fine. Then, I finally got the digital working by itself.
Anyway, how about sending your xorg.conf as well. It may jog my memory.
And, if possible, the Xlog with the nvidia driver. Did you happen to try
running nvidia-xconfig in run level 3 and use the xorg.conf it generated?
I believe that you are able to get the login prompt at level 3, right?

If that is the case, along with the other problems you are having,
you may want to check your hardware, especially the digital cable.
The digital cable has never been used before. The monitor seems
otherwise functional (works fine in analog mode). They are the only
digital card, cable, and moitor I have. Guess I'll need to drag them to
the repair shop for testing...
You may also want to take a look at /etc/grub/grub.conf, and see if
you are setting a video mode that the monitor does not like... Also,
are you using the frame buffer mode for virtual consoles, or one of
the video card's text modes?
Don't think there's anything unusual there:
