Sure hope someone here can help? I just got the VIA Epia 5000 mini-itx board. I thought I was home-free when I got into the BIOS screen first time, checked through it all to see the defaults, etc...Then I hooked up my CD-ROM to boot into Knoppix Linux (I didn't want to do a HD install yet- just testing the board & memory).
I get the Knoppix "splash screen" but then the display goes black. I have activity on the ROM drive, as if it's zipping right along (Knoppix is "live" & runs from the CD)- but no display.
In the BIOS, I originally had "1st init display" at "PCI slot"- I tried changing that to "AGP"- no go. The only other setting that's related is "assign irq for VGA" which is set to enable.
IS there anyone here familiar either with Knoppix/EPIA mini-itx, or getting onboard vid. to run? Am I correct to assume that the fact that I see the splash screen means the video works? Or is this wrong? When I search Google or VIA's site- all I get is how to "disable" the onboard vid.- nothing on how to get it to work.
Thanks in advance,
Lynn T
