[newbie] new monitor, starting X causes no signal

[Christopher J. Bottaro]

btw, i'm the one who started that thread "switching from fedora core, 
need advice".  decided to give mandrake a try.  i have to admit urpmi is 
pretty nice...=)  fonts look different than fedora, but thats just 
something i'll get used to.  3 programs crashed within an hour of using 
it, but ehh...what ya gunna do?

anyways, on to my problem...
i took my computer to work, plugged it into a monitor from work, 
keyboard, mouse, network, etc.  installed mandrake 10.0 (loved the 
partitioner installer btw) without a hitch.  i played around with it 
some, everything was fine.

so i take my computer home, plug it into my monitor, keyboard, mouse, 
etc.  start it up, everything is fine.  then i try to start X and the 
screen goes blank, the monitor loses signal and goes into standby mode.

ok, the XF86Config file is still set for my work monitor.  i'll just use 
XFDrake to reconfigure it.  well i did and chose my home monitor.  still 
doesn't work.

any ideas?  thanks!
