Probably not. I hit the same thing with the same card, except that I
use the nv driver in XFree86. I see the normal POST, etc, then GRUB
with its screen. Then the screen goes blank. If boot is sucessful and
I boot to run level 5, I eventually get the login screen. If boot is
sucessful and I boot to run level 3, or boot fails and hangs up or
goes into a rescue shell, I never see anything and have to reboot.
If you install a PCI video card (Matrox Millenium, in my case), you
should see the system boot to the PCI card normally. My motherboard
(ASUS A7V8X-X, with VIA KT400, VIA VT8235) selected the PCI card over
the AGP card for boot, so I did not have to remove the AGP card; yours
may do the same. That let me get the boot working correctly and time
it.
I now boot "blind" but know how long it should take. Gnrrr.
I did not know about the "GRAPHICAL=yes" line in /etc/sysconfig/init,
so I have not tried changing it to "no".
