Hello,
I do not if it is related but just in case.
With some MacMini, at least old ones, this issue exists as well:
this is not a linux issue but a bootcamp issue.
hth,

Hello,
I have a problem that I meet each time I boot Linux on an embedded
computer.
Configuration:
Embedded PC : ECM-LX800
Screen: LVDS (and not VGA)
Linux: Debian ETCH version 2.6.18-6-686
The problem comes after GRUB gives the instruction on which partition to
boot, BUT before that Linux kernel is loaded.
Noticed facts:
1- in short-cutting the VGA connector (i.e. pin 5 and 12 strapped
together), which simulates the presence of a VGA display attached to the
PC, Linux boots normally. The video signal is indeed sent to the LVDS
output.
2- Linux installation was proceeded with success, but with the VGA
connector connected to an external display as described in item 1.
3- When the VGA connector is free from any connector or from any strap
between pins 5 and 12, after GRUB has started: the display becomes then
black. Linux kernel is not loaded.
Question: Is there a configuration file to modify before the kernel is
loaded to tell Linux not to take into account the VGA connector, but
instead to send straight the video signal on the LVDS output, and then
to boot normally ?
Many thanks in advance,
Best regards,
Eric
