- I'm not sure about that... From personal experience, it sounds like a video
- problem... With my Gateway and a Local Bus ATI GUP card, I had to make sure
- that during setup of my video card, I had the monitor set to VGA, rather than
- to the specific monitor type.
-
- I'm still experiencing the problem if I try to add com3 or com4 to my system.
- (3,3e8,5) (4,2e8,2)... Video disappears, but the system has actually been
- started..
