Radeon 8500: Can't see BIOS POST msgs with DVI out

[Markeau]

Radeon 8500, CAT 5.10, XPpro:

Am successfully running a Dell 2405fpw at 1900x1200 except at boot the
BIOS/POST messages to not display, plus I don't see the XP boot screen
that typically follows the POST ... the first screen I see is the XP
login screen. Is there any way to see the entire set of boot
messages, etc, via DVI on the 8500?

Funny, I posted the same question a few questions ago ...

Except mine was on VGA on a 9600 ?

All the best ..

Someone posted on the dell ng that they could see all bios/post msgs
with a 2405 on a 9800xt ... so I guess we need to upgrade
