[Eug-lug] Monitor possession!

[Ben Barrett]

My suggestions:
1. Settle down :)
2. Try a different monitor, surely NextStep or even OPN could help you
find a cheap monitor, or even on loan if you're a volunteer.... or
goodwill/etc stores.

I've only seen monitors work or not-work.  Never seen a monitor mess
up a linux install -- only make it impossible to see (they fail and/or
are misconfigured).
