   Hello,   
      
   I changed my old CRT monitor for a TFT one (Mirai). When I use the VGA    
   connection, I can see all the starting sequence : post, lilo, launch of    
   kubuntu. but if I use the DVI connection, the monitor doesn't receive    
   any signal untill the desktop starts. In this case, I can't access bios    
   or the boot-loader, I don't see if the OS start-up is ok or not...   
      
   I use an ATI Radeon 7500 graphics board with free drivers. My    
   motherboard is Liteon NA380.   
      
   Do you know what could I do ? I already modified the /etc/X11/xorg.conf    
   adding these lines :   
      
   Option          "ConnectedMonitor"      "DFP"   
   Option          "UseDisplayDevice"      "DFP"   
      
   at the end of Section "Screen" but no way. But does it really comes from    
   Xorg, or the graphics board, or the mother board ?   
      
   Thanks for help
