Ok - I initially thought some glitch had happened that tripped the X server and once you got rid of it things would work fine again. Apparently that is not the case :( Did you try a complete power off? (sometimes a reset isn't as "complete" as a power off is) How long had the machine been on before things went wrong? Could you have done something that changed some configuration files some time ago without restarting X or rebooting? I have seen this happen a couple of times, where a machine seems to be perfectly configured until one tries to restart a service or reboot it whereupon it trips on a broken configuration file :/ Does the monitor work on other machines? If it didn't, that would be a confirmation that something nasty really did happen to the power and that your UPS didn't handle it all too well :/ In that case you might have an acute case of bad hardware on your hand and no amount of reconfiguration and software trickery will fix it :( -Peter _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
