Learned about it after the fact. I am using KDM. Normally everything is fine so KDM is not a problem. I have been known to jack monitor cables around between boxes. I didn't do it today but I did do it recently and had to reboot when the screen blanked out and I couldn't telnet in. Maybe the problem is in the card. It's an el-cheapo Trident Cyberblade or something. It was recognised when I installed. I'll widen my scope to include watching for vidoe problems. To learn more about XFree86 configuration should I stay with the web or move on to dead-trees? -- Mike M. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
