From the AS1000 service manual:

Using a VGA Controller Other than the Standard On-Board VGA
When the system is configured to use a PCI- or EISA-based VGA controller
instead of the standard on-board VGA (CIRRUS), consider the following:
° The on-board CIRRUS VGA options must be set to disabled through the
ECU.
° The VGA jumper (J27) on the upper-left corner of the motherboard must
then
be set to disable (off).
° The console environment variable should be set to graphics.
° If there are multiple VGA controllers, the system will direct console
output to
the first controller it finds.

Hope this helps.
