Video Card: Power color "red devil" Vega 56. Windows 10 pro, Ryzen 1800x, MSI B350 "pc mate" motherboard. 16GB ram.
My connections are: displayport via an adapter cable to the HDMI input on my monitor, and another connection from HDMI output to the television.
It's a "dual display" setup in case I want to display something on the television, but usually I just use the monitor.
PROBLEM: if the HDMI cable is connected then none of the bootup messages are displayed via displayport. I can only see bootup on the television. The monitor stays black until the Windows bootup starts.
If I want to see any bootup messages on the monitor (BIOS changes, whatever) I have to physically pull the HDMI cable.
Isn't there some way to change a setting on the video card so that during bootup I can see information via displayport?
(By the way regarding the obvious easy fix, switch ports so that displayport goes to the television & HDMI to the monitor: this won't work because I have a 30' HDMI cable running up inside the wall over the ceiling to the television PROJECTOR. I would have to get a different kind of DP/HDMI female adapter and another, different HDMI cable for the monitor. Why can't the video card just be configured to work the way I want it? It's only during bootup, come on AMD.)
