I used to have DOS on my cabinet. I also had (actually still have) the
power-relay for the monitor connected to the parallel port. Under dos i
used the utilities from the advcab-package to set an appropriate mode on
bootup, and displaying a PCX-image. Then using portio i turned on the
monitor.

In this case the monitor would be in an acceptable mode long before
advmenu starts. You can even call the utilities from config.sys to show
the picture as soon as possible during bootup.
