Hi all,
When I leave my computer unattended for long periods, I leave the
machine itself on but turn the monitor off. Normally, when I come back,
I can turn the monitor back on and just move the mouse or hit 'space' to
get the green light back on and the picture to come up.
Sometimes, however, it will not come back up when I turn the monitor
back on. The green light stays amber and there's no picture. None of
the keys or key combinations will make it come back. Only the 'reset'
button on the case will restart the machine, with ugly consequences
(hda1 not cleanly unmounted, etc.) This happens in LM 7.2; when I run
the same machine in windows, the problem doesn't occur (though I've seen
other windows machines that _have_ had it happen).
Is there something I have set up wrong? Could it have to do with the
X-screensaver or maybe the monitor refresh rates?
Thanks so much for your help,
Chris
