I don't have your screen or graphics card, but I found that with my card, if I
insert a VGA monitor as well as my 19" TFT into the card, boot messages come out
of both screens. By removing the VGA monitor before X starts, X then comes out
on the TFT. I realise this is a hack (at best), but it has worked for me. (BTW,
the VGA screen does not need to be powered up). 

I understand a special DVI-I BIOS is needed for my card, which I've downolaoded
but are not sure how to use. It may require me blowing an EPROM, or uploading
with a .EXE. There are no instructions - just a .ROM file.
