I have the same motherboard with their fanless 533MHz processor.
The system has the problem that switching to text console and back
(c-a-f1, a-f9) makes the screen dark (as if it was off), and after
a little fiddling trying different options, look as if the horizontal
lines are not properly synced and the screen is darker.
Blindly trying things:
Lowering HorizSync or VertRefresh or setting or clearing NoPciBurst,
PciRetry, CyberShadow, or CyberStretch gives me the not synced look.
Setting NoAccel, NoMMIO, ShadowFB, or SWcursor to "true" gives you a
dark screen (the monitor behaves as if the computer is powered off).
Do anyone have any suggestions.
I use this as an potential netbooting, no noise, low cost xterminal.
