Hi everyone,

I just wanted to post this in case someone out there is having a similar
problem. Basically, my monitor kept shutting off whenever I tried to
exit X-Windows or switch to a virtual console.

I managed to solve my problem by adding the following to /etc/rc.conf:

allscreens_flags="80x30"

I have no idea why this worked, and apparently (from searching the
mailing list archives) will not work in all situations, but it did in
my case.

Here is a list of my hardware.
Diamond Monster Fusion AGP (3dfx Voodoo Banshee chipset)
Panasonic Pansync Pro P15 Monitor
FIC Pa-2013 Motherboard

HTH
