Or, is it APM BIOS that blanks the display? Is the apm(4) driver included in your kernel? >After the monitor warms up, the text login screen appears (no xdm), Does this mean that you don't run xdm, or you are put in a text vty even though you are running xdm? Do the keyboard LEDs all right? Hit CapsLock, ScrollLock, NumLock to see if LESs are updated as they should. >with the solid white cursor after "login: " as it should be.

If you ping this box from another before you unblank the screen, does it respond? Kazu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
