Quoted from ThePostmaster:

I know the monitor is good, because I hooked it up to my computer first, to make sure it was working fine, before I pulled the crt out of the game.

If I install a different graphics card in the game, how do I install the Linux drivers? Is it a plug and play like Windows?

I might take the graphics card out, and install it into my home computer, and see if the problem follows the graphics card.

Bill, I could be able to come up to your neck of the woods and help ya out with this. I have a background in comupters and I'd love to see one of these RFM/SWE1 machines in person.

My gut would say the one or more of the pins are bent. Video drivers typically will work or they wont. Usually you do not get interference like shown in the pics from "bad" drivers.

Shoot me a call/text and we can figure out a time for me to come up there.

Bill, are you 100% positive that the cable(s) you are using do not have any bent pins? Also, have you inspected the plug where the other end of the cable hooks up (not on the video card) to ensure nothing is preventing it from plugging in all the way?

GL!
