> Going back over the link.... I found this with google and added it to the Monitor section: Horizsync 31-80 Vertrefresh 60-75 It looked like it was going to work great. I could see the proper displays on both monitor and TV while it showed the graphical display of starting stuff. As soon as the scroll bar got to the end and X should come up, the system locked up. I also did not have any control over the mouse during that time to hit "Show Details". >From the links you sent I added this kernel parameter: pci=nommconf Now it gets all the way into X and everything looks good. Only lingering problem is the mouse still doesn't work, but it's not a huge problem. The system is for mythtv and the remote and keyboard work fine. Plus the mouse works over VNC so I'm way ahead of where I was. If you have any ideas on the mouse I'm all ears, otherwise thank you for all the help! James
