Not long after booting my monitor goes black, says no signal. The computer eventually boots and gives me the login sound. I have tried all the nosplash and video=ofonly options and this keeps happening.
I also have an old G4 tower and that one will boot just fine.
The G5 has the NVidia GForce FX5200. I am using the apple adaptor to hook it up to a Planar flatscreen monitor.
As apple has left the PowerPC computers behind, I would REALLY like to get Linux running on this box.
If anyone can help me get past this video shutoff I can probably figure everything else out. I have LOT's of *Nix experience over in the intel world.
Thanks!
