Hi Everyone, On just one of my machines, I'm seeing a strange problem where after X has been started, the text consoles no longer display. If I switch to them using control-alt-F[1-8], OR quit or kill X all I get is a blank screen. The monitor is getting a signal (the light is flashing green, rather than orange), but no matter what key I press, I don't get any display on the screen until I switch back to X. The text consoles are still THERE since I can log into one, and start another X session - there is just no display. It seems almost certain to me that this is some wierd problem with power management - the question is what? Is there an effective way that I can go through and turn off all power management? This machine is on and in use 24x7 anyway, so it is not really needed. Paul
