OK, will take a look at them in a bit. It is AM here and just getting started. Although Lonni is on it. :-)

nvidia-xconfig in run level 3 and use the xorg.conf it generated?

I believe that you are able to get the login prompt at level 3, right?

No, I see no display of virtual consoles.  I did run system-config-display
and nvidia-settings .  I can try nvidia-xconfig and nvidia-config-display
from runlevel 5 later.

Sorry, just want to reconfirm a couple of things.

1. When your system is first powered on, the monitor comes out of standby mode and you do see the system's BIOS screens and if you wanted to you could go into the BIOS settings displays. Yes?

Now that you mention it, no. The screen remains blank from power-on to X driver start--no POST, no boot messages, no rhgb, no VC. (In fact, the first time I power on the monitor and then the CPU, the monitor appears to stay in analog mode until the machine finishes booting. Then if I power the monitor off and on, it detects the digital signal. After that, rebooting produces the result above.)


2.  If #1 is yes, can you see the grub menu?  If yes, what happens when
you use "a" to change the kernel start line to remove rhgb and add "3" to
boot to run level 3.  Do you still end up with a blank screen?

N/A, as above.


3.  Aside from 1 and 2.  When you boot and have the blank screen...can you
use the "menu" buttons on your display and have the "on screen menu" show
the "Display Mode"?.  If I recall correctly, part of the symptoms of my
problem was that the monitor's display mode showed "Analog" instead of
"Digital". So, even if only the digital cable was plugged in the monitor
kept thinking the "Analog" was alive and would not switch mode...giving a
blank screen.

So it appears, here. After I get it to detect digital mode once, it will continue to do the following:

Sense message switches between analog and digital mode through the first few POST screens, then settles on digital, but the screen is blank, and the monitor menu does not appear.
