You know, it just keeps getting weirder. When I read this, specifically the "... you said you did not change anything ..." part, for some reason I thought about how last night I reached around the back of my DVI KVM to disconnect the audio input cable and accidentally unplugged the power connector, which is near the audio connector. It made me wonder if perhaps the KVM had gotten into some sort of odd state that could have been cleared by resetting it. (It's not that dumb a device—it's smart enough for the manufacturer to have included a serial port to enable firmware upgrades.) So just now I tried the "xset dpms force off" command again. Lo and behold, now the monitor powers down. "It's always something." Thanks for making me think of that. > Jan Randall Schulz -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
