   Not that I know of, the onboard XGA-2 will be tested during POST, before   
   any slot mounted adapter.   
      
   MAJ Tom, can he hit F1 to boot past the error, then continue to boot   
   with an XGA-2 adapter?   
      
   Looking at XGA-2 errors, the HMM mentions the 240x series, but...   
     FALSE XGA-2 ERROR CODE 02581800 OR 024318XX ON PS/2   
          ** 02581800 error (System board XGA-2 9556/57)   
          ** 024318XX error (XGA-2 Display Adapter)   
      
   This isn't your problem [it would be nice if it was, though!]
