DVI connection to LCD screen question

[Sam]

I have an LCD panel connected to an ATI Radeon 9500 using a DVI connection.
It works fine, except when I reboot the screen goes blank and doesn't
re-appear until the Windows XP loading screen appears. Since I like to see
what it's doing during a boot, I'd like to see the whole process. I can see
everything using a VGA connection... just not using the DVI.

Is this normal, or do I have something set up incorrectly.

Thanks.

Sam

Everything works OK using a standard VGA connection and I can see the whole
boot process. Why is the digital DVI connection so much slower to respond?
