[OT] MB BIOS Screwed Up

[Stephen]

This is for a Linux machine so not totally OT.

I built a new machine for the 11.04 Ubuntu. I used an ASUS MB that had 
the new Sandy Bridge chip set.

Unfortunately, the Ubuntu drivers are still buggy.

Si I added a video card with an NVidia chip.

BIOS still sent video through MB VGA port.

In BIOS I found that I could set primary video, and I chose the setting 
PCI/iGPU

But now I get no video from either VGA port.

The manual instructs to switch the CLRTC jumper for 10 seconds to clear 
the CMOS. I did this but it had no effect.

I followed step two that included removing the MB battery and then 
moving the jumper again.

So I am totally stuck.

I sent a tech support request to ASUS.

Any further ideas/suggestions most appreciated.
