Re: [MiNT] Problem with xaaes/nvdi+video card

[locutus <locutus@puscii.nl>]

I have the same setup (TT+CD-1+NVDI+XAAES) and it hangs at exactly the
same point in the boot sequence, so i figure its not a unique problem.

What did work for me (to get output on the CD) was to run the ROM GEM
from MiNT, but thats not very handy ofcourse :)
