OK, the following gets past the black screen to the login screen:

Removed the AGP card and a sound card, leaving no adapter cards plugged 
in. Took the cap off the onboard video port and plugged in the display

Oh no! something has gone wrong.

Log Out


The cursor has disappeared. Press enter and get back to the login 
screen. Cursor reappears.

Try to login as "admin" and get rejected as if wrong password was entered.
