Something about a setting in the plug-and-play versus the BIOS..this setting got changed to letting the BIOS decide what's what. I had to set it back to enabling plug-and-play..heretofore considered the realm of windows it has consequences with Debian too at least on my particular BIOS..something American, came with the motherboard. Anyway, butt was saved with the latest version of Rescatux that included Super Grub 2. I can recommend this disk in anyone's tool box. all the best, CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?

restart problems monitor or GPU
This is a recent development. I run Debian unstable by apt preferences I have a: Samsung SyncMaster 215tw Nvidia GeForceT 9800 GT Graphics Accelerator (silent cell) Recently on a systems restart be it Debian or Windows 7 the monitor blacks out i.e. doesn't pick up and display the signal. If I check the monitor source and menu the test always say the connection is OK and the source says PC meaning the monitor is communicating with the GPU. The only way I've found to work around this is on a restart do a CTRL-ALT-Del then wait for the restart again where at that point, I shut off the power. On turning on the power, the monitor will work again properly provided I don't turn-on the monitor too soon. If for instance, the monitor comes on with the power and fails to find a signal in around 5 seconds, it won't pick up the signal from the GPU when the computer is turned on later. In other words there is this 'dance' of turning on the computer waiting for the boot sequence to start up then turning on the monitor. That always seems to work after a power down, power up. I've not experienced this one before. it's really an annoying little thorn. Any suggestions leading to an amelioration of this problem would be resounding. -- CK -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of unsubscribe. Trouble?
