I don't know if this is related; I'm not running X on my freebsd box right now because I have problems with it hanging (reboot required). I have a Stealth 64 2001 Video card and when the power saving features of the monitor are enabled under win95 (I've tried two different monitors), the monitor *sometimes* refuses to turn back on. Powering the monitor off and back on causes the monitor to display a message about no video signals. The problem went away when I switched to a plain Stealth 64 card. -- Gary Aitken garya@ics.com (business) garya@dreamchaser.org (personal)
