     it seems the #1 time it does anything, it's deciding that your second input device isn't transmitting for 0.1 microseconds so now it's switching back to input device 1 instead. because fuck you

     oh, you rebooted and it took SLIGHTLY too long to initialize the display?

     BACK TO INPUT ONE FOR YOU! HAVE FUN FIDDLING AROUND WITH MONITOR BUTTONS YOU CAN'T EVEN SEE, PUNK

     remember when monitors had buttons on the front instead of the back? that was nice.

     also I know there's no reason for my LCD to have a degauss button

     but fuck you, I want one anyway.

     hmm. if I switch inputs immediately after booting this raspi, I see it start up, and start to boot, then it goes out of signal and then WHOOPS HDMI SWITCH

     either my raspi is powering itself off as it boots (weird, but possible I guess) or when it switches from the text-mode boot screen to the... graphical text mode screen? it's going out of range and this monitor is deciding it doesn't like it anymore

     I can't really tell which is happening BECAUSE I CAN'T SEE THE SCREEN

     I could SSH into it and see what it says, but I can't SSH into it because I don't know the IP. that's why I needed the screen

     @foone and a regauss button, so you don't have to wait so long to degauss again

     • Brian Danger Hicks

     @ckape I believe the wait was because degaussing could generate a surprising amount of heat, so they limited it to keep the CRT's plastic enclosure from melting

     okay I plugged the ethernet into a network I control, to watch for a DHCP request. one never comes in.

     so it's not the monitor (probably), it's my raspi failing to boot.
     whatta hell

     I lugged over a spare 4k HDMI monitor for a text-only raspi. this is what's known as "overkill"

     FINALLY I have it working. I just had to reflash the SD card and attach it to a separate monitor and get a USB keyboard

     @instereo256 the only reason I had a 4k monitor (I have two, actually) at all is because I hate them and they're "spare" because I've replaced them with more reasonable 1080p monitors

     @foone@digipres.club there are two overkills demonstrated here:
     - using a 4k monitor for a rpi in text mode
     - having "a spare 4k monitor"
