Comment: I have installed BeOS Personal 5.0.1 which I got form Bebits. I made the boot floppy and rebooted. I get the Be Boot loader screen. Everything goes well, until it gets to the point when it should bring up the desktop. At that point it freezes. No errors. I then tried to download the unofficial Developers Edition. I burned the main image to CD and booted with my boot floppy, this time telling it to boot from CD. Again all goes well until it should bring up the desktop. I freezes. The thing is, I know the problem. I have a built in vid card and a PCI card. The monitor is hooked up to the PCI card. BeOS wants to display the desktop using the onboard card. I need it to use the PCI card. Is there any way to do this(without booting into BeOS which I can't do)? Please note that I can not disable the built in card. There is no option to do it in the BIOS and no appropriate jumper on the mobo.

Reply: (edit)nope. I have a Celeron running at 700mhz, and I have SDRAM. As I said, I'm pretty sure the problem is a conflict between the two video cards. I just need to know what to do about it(and still be able to use my nice PCI card).

If not press space when Beos starts to boot to bring up the safe mode screen. Try the different options there.

Reply: (edit)I only wondered as to why you could see the boot seq. and not the desktop if in fact the current connected card is not working as you claim. Seems to me if you see something then it is working isn't it? The choice to use the pci card was made around or at post. Mats idea to try safe mode or vesa mode might tell more. What pci card do you have? Might help us all if we knew more about the entire system and didn't have to guess. My fault. I should have said please tell us more about your entire system.
