Hello Brian, > So if you return to the tty that you started X from (maybe by Alt-F1) and > hit Ctrl-C, that doesn't kill your X session? Reboot seems a bit drastic. That's correct. It kills the X session, but the terminal remains dark, and switches to 'lower power' mode. Using ctrl-alt-f1 or alt-f1 doesn't change the screen setting. > I struggled with widescreen config for a while until I realized the Tao > solution was best - have you tried starting X without any > /etc/X11/xorg.conf at all? Tao solution? I'm not sure what that is, but I have tried just typing 'startx' and also tried starting using xdm. Unfortunately everything has the same result, which is a blank screen in power savermode :( Thanks for your help. Scott
