[ale] OT: New Video, no video

[Robert L. Harris]

Just got a new box for my desk.  Dell PowerEdge 1300/450, dual proc.
Been building it out Debian Sid using the built in video card until the
new card ordered showed up.  Got the card Xtasy 5332 GForce2, 32meg from 
VisionTek.  Plug it in the PCI slot and reboot.  No beeps, no signal to 
video, nothing.  TAke the card out, works like it just did.  Took  the
card out, put in an old 2meg PCI S3 card, comes up fine.  Upgraded
the FlashBIOS, no change.

I'm on hold with VisionTek now (have been for 45 mins+).  

Any thoughts?

(Yeah, way off topic other than gonna be my new Linux desktop at work, 
but there are some very inventive people with some great exp on this
list.)

Thanks,
  Robert
