--- Comment #163 from Christopher <laserhawk64 at gmail.com> ---
I could've sworn I told you -- but it appears, looking back in the comments,
that I have a liar for a memory ;)

I *DID* try DVI, shortly before plowing under the frugal install. The display
--near as I could tell-- just went to sleep rather than displaying all that
crap like in the photo. It's a different display* and it doesn't put messages
up on an overlay, it just has a couple "trouble" LEDs that are nearly useless
for anything.

If you need me to, I can try again with the full install and possibly (no
guarantees!) get a log out of it this time.

*Up till recently my screen of choice was an HP vs17 or vs17c -- they're
identical except for the (quite tiny) label AFAICT so I get mixed up as to
which is which. Recently I switched to an HP vf52, which is an XGA (1024x768)
display rather than SXGA (1280x1024). The DVI monitor is a circa-2007 Dell XGA
pile of crap LCD that requires a proprietary fat ugly lunker of a power brick
as well -- not that the screen's any lighter as a result, either...
