Hi as i posted on a different thread i recently recapped an industrial Lanner TF-586VM. Besides that, in order to save an additional PCI slot, i also soldered a VGA connector to the motherboard. The board does include a connector for an external VGA plug but i don't have it:

I soldered a connector in there and i made sure it was all well soldered. Unfortunately there are some problems. There's no jumper to actually turn off the onboard controller. This shouldn't be a problem considering i wanted to use the integrated controller. Unfortunately using the integrated controller results in flashing characters during text mode and vertical lines and wrong colors on graphics mode.

Here's a video and a couple pictures:

Needless to say that i tried every relevant option in the BIOS to try and sort it out but nothing worked. I thought that maybe the video memory chips might not be very healthy.

Anyone got any ideas?

Cheers
