When shutting down/rebooting and occasionally when switching to a virtual terminal, my monitor goes into DPMS sleep mode. I can still use the keyboard and do just about anything, I just can't see anything. Once this happens, It doesn't seem to recover until I reboot. I am using Accelerated X, but have seen the problem under 2.1.0 and XFree 3.1.2. Has anyone else seen this? -- Keith Mitchell | The real danger is not that computers will Chesapeake/Blacksburg VA | begin to think like men, but that men will kmitch@infi.net | begin to think like computers. kmitch@csugrad.cs.vt.edu | -- Sydney J.
