Video card does not work in server

http://serverfault.com – I want to install a video card into a server. When it is inserted, server does not boot up and there is no video signal coming from video card. 4 LEDs at the back of the motherboard show pattern G-R-R-A which means "Disabling the console controller" (see Appendix C in manual). There was another (older) video card in that PCI slot and it worked fine. The card which I want to install works too (I tested it in another computer). Both On-board Video and Dual Monitor Video options are turned off in BIOS (when I turn on one or both options, both new and old video cards dont work). What should I try (HowTos)

Two Video Cards in Console? 1 year 2 days ago

Hi,  I apologize if this may be kind of a dumb question;  I have two video cards; an ATI and an NVIDIA card;  My question is fairly basic; X11 aside, should I be able to plug both video cards in and get the 'console' to display by default out of both cards?  Do I have to do anything special to setup the second card for console (i.e non-X)?  I know the OS is detec

I have a PC that has an integrated graphics chip on the motherboard. It runs X nicely. I bought a video card (NVIDIA GEFORCE FX5200), installed it in a PCI slot, downloaded the drivers from the nvidia website, installed them, rebooted, connected the monitor to the new video card, and that worked fine.

It seems my video card, a GeForce 7300GS has died. My motherboard manufacturer told me that the PCI-E slots on the board are v1. The motherboard is an EVGA nForce 590SLI. I'm having a hard time finding an older video card with v1 PCI. Can I use a more up-to-date v2 or v3 video card in this motherboard? In other words, is the PCI spec backwards compatible?

OKay, I want to upgrade the video and sound card on one of my PC's, to put ubuntu on it. i already have it up to 2GB ram. It has two PCI Slots. Are all video and sound cards that use the PCI interface compatible with my motherboard, or are their other factors to include in choosing a video card?

After upgrade to 12.04.1 from 10.04, all video players yield blank screen. VLC has been made to show video properly by setting its video output to "X11 (XCB)" while it was set to "XVideo (XCB)" by default. How can I do the same with Totem and Pitivi? Video card is "VIA S3 Unichrome Pro"

As I posted before, I'm getting kernel panics when playing video.

At first I thought it was the video card and driver (an old ATI on-board), but even after replacing the video card with an nvidia one, I was still getting the same problem.

As Rotak noticed, the problem was not the video card, but the capture card.

Since then, I tried both downgrading the version & kernel, as well as ru

is my video card working? 1 year 1 week ago

I've been using onboard video, installed F16 64 a couple days ago, followed leigh's driver instructions, and want to see if the video card is working.

I have a Ubuntu 12.04 box with a new Nvidia GeForce GTX 680 video card. I can't install the linux video driver for that card, because the installer stops when it detects an X server active, & refuses to proceed. If I use "dmlight stop" (or something near that, I forget the syntax) it kills X, but in replacement I have a monochrome blank screen.

I am looking to purchase a new video card and I want to run three LCDs side-by-side. I normally would buy NVidia, but from what I have read, ATI is the leader in multi-monitor with their Eyefinity technology.

My motherboard is a ASRock P67 EXTREME4 GEN3.
