Everyone,
A while back I reported problems with the Intell i915 video driver in an ASUS mother board. I never found a solution, but did find a work around. It is apparent that when the VGA cable is connected during boot time the screen becomes blank and does not allow a login, but if the vga cable is disconnected and the DVI connector on the video screen and motherboard are used everything works as expected.
I am posting this so that if others have the same problem they can easily bypass the problem with a DVI cable, and probably an HDMI cable, but I was not able to test the HDMI.
