Hi TPepler,

You mentioned earlier that you had trouble pinging the machine even with it connected via ethernet - is that correct? If so then you may be having a kernel OOPS. I'll add the kernel component so the kernel QA team can take a look.

If that's the case, you may want to test this against alpha-5, which will have the new 2.6.27 kernel, to see if the issue is resolved there.

Meanwhile, could you attach Xorg.0.logs from both configurations (monitor on VGA and monitor on DVI)? Make sure to move aside your ~/.config/monitors.xml (if any) so it'll come up with the autodetected resolutions. If it is *not* a kernel bug, we'll need the logs from both those situations.
