I concur on the excellent guess. I tried the system in 800x600. The
monitor responded to the entire boot process. I moved it to 1600x1200.
Then the monitor doesn't display until kde start. Interesting side
point: Before Gutsy Gibbon, I had Feisty Fawn. It would never, never
remember my monitor settings. If I did a reboot or log out the monitor
went back to 800x600. If I merely locked the screen, no change.
Therefore each time I fully logged in, I had to reset the screen
resolution. Gusty I do not have to do that, but the monitor does not
respond to the early boot process.
