Well, now there is clear evidence. I followed up by putting a DVI card
in the machine and, using an adapter, connecting it to the same monitor
that showed nothing with the built-in VGA connection. On this connection
I see video. So the machine is working, just not the VGA. I can adapt
to using the DVI but I may just replace the machine anyway.

My desire for the serial connection was only to help diagnose this
problem. Of course, even after getting it to work, all I learned is that
the machine is fine, just not the VGA. At least, I learned a lot about
serial consoles.
