The only thing that I can think of, unless you hear better from elsewhere,
might be that the programs that you go to from the desktop take direct
low-level control over the video drivers for the sake of high speed
graphics, and that their own drivers flat out ignore the RF port. This
could result (if I'm not crazy) in the effect you see, because  the
machine would in fact be operating, but invisibly. No bombs.
