my monitor shots off (led in front stays on, but no scan lines show up even at maximum brightness) in console mode after a few minuntes. xwindows ain't even running.
before running into debian i'd tried freebsd, and their default install had a neat set of screensavers in console mode that switched to some kind of graphic mode, for traveling star fields & so forth, without xwindows running anywhere. some may not like the screen blanking, or want to change the parameters; i like it because linux sits in my basement serving and listening and logging while i do my work via telnet from upstairs. on my setup i think the poweroff feature is in bios... unless the console mode (no xwindows) has a screensaver option? -+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+-+- Their is five errers in this sentance.
