No screen, no prompt

[IL Ka]

I do not have experience with R128 driver, unfortunately.

I believe that means the card can't emulate the old Video BIOS interface.
It shouldn't prevent it from working

Card can't read EDID from your monitor, hence it doesn't "see" it.

This must be the problem. Let's wait for someone who has experience with
R128. You can also try another monitor and VGA cable.
It could be that DDC is broken in this cable.

DRM also failed, not sure why.
