I'm using BIOS dated 19/07/2000, last week it was latest BIOS on Gigabyte site for 6VXD7 (two PIII/800). I did not looked for updates today yet.
I tried to change C2P Concurrency & Master (en/dis), AGP Mode (1x/2x/4x), Power mgmt - Display Activity (monitor/ignore), PNP OS (yes/no) (24 combinations total), but any combination dies if there are read accesses to videoram during startup. Today I finally digged out some old ISA VGA (Realtek), plugged it in and - it dies too. So it does not depend on bus type. Best regards, Petr Vandrovec vandrove@vc.cvut.cz
