it doesnt do it when i use X from the CD 6.2, just the text-console. also, the 6.1.1 cd doesnt do it, but i have to change the video driver in xorg.conf from i810 to nv for X to work, so i think its the driver. But im not sure how to change the driver that the cd 6.2 detects... i think like the card just powers off or something, b/c the system is totally responsive other than a blank screen. ---------------- Colin Kemp GreenBall Enterprises [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/lfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/lfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
