It seems that it's an issue of either the LCD not receiving the "wake" message when the computer boots, or the LCD not knowing I have the VGA plug (as opposed to the DVI plug) selected.
If I plug the VGA from a CRT to the VGA on the video card, the computer boots and the monitor crackles and "wakes," displaying the POST.
If I plug the VGA from a CRT into the VGA->DVI plug and then into the DVI port on the video card, the computer boots and the monitor crackles and "wakes," displaying the POST.
And yet if I plug the VGA from the LCD into the video card, nothing.
Likewise, if I plug the VGA from the LCD into the VGA->DVI plug, nothing.
There's an "input select" button on the LCD, but it seems like I can only change it when it has a signal. I tried unplugging and replugging the monitor, hoping it would "sense" that it was plugged on the VGA port, but nothin.
