P4PE ATI All in Wonder 9000 problem

[Jim in Canada]

Hi.

I have tried the ATI news group on this little problem and no answers...so
here I will try.

P4PE P4 2.8 WinXP HE (all updates)
BIOS 1007 Beta 001
1gig RAM
ATI 9000 All in Wonder Pro 64, driver ver. 6.14.10.6404

I have this set up in a snappy looking Piano Black Altek desktop case in my
entertainment unit. The SVideo on the card is hooked up to my 32 inch RCA
TV.

Everything is great (picture, capture, TV, even the remote) except one
thing: I can not read my BIOS screen. Everything at boot is readable, but
when I hit Delete to go into the BIOS I get a scambled mess of color on the
screen. Luckily hitting F10 then Enter gets me right out of there as I am
unable to make changes.

I used to have an older Nvidia MX card installed in the same setup, and it
was able to display the BIOS screen. Besides having a dual monitor setup
(which works. The BIOS does display on the second computer monitor if hooked
up) which clutters up the entertainment unit, is there a fix some place for
this? Could the beta BIOS be the culprit?

Thanks all! Happy New Year!
Jim

I just updated the BIOS to 1007 release, and no improvement.
