And when you accidentally press the source button, the display comes back after 1-3 seconds. Since users normally do not only press the source button - they also press other buttons and move the mouse around - they are successful at the end. Exception: we have also some of Sun's own 17" and 19" TFT displays and there it happens from time to time that someone presses this button and gets stuck and asks for help with the "broken" monitor. Is there some reason why sun's displays come without autoselection? -- Meik Hellmund Mathematisches Institut, Uni Leipzig e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.math.uni-leipzig.de/~hellmund _______________________________________________ SunRay-Users mailing list [email protected] http://www.filibeto.org/mailman/listinfo/sunray-users
