--- Comment #47 from Igor Strelnikoff
Ah, so the system does offer a mode! This was not clear from any previous reports which seem to have indicated the system puts the monitor into suspend from boot on except for a very brief moment when X starts. This is why I've asked this question in the first place. Also the reports seemed to indicate that X never runs, however as you use ctrl-alt-F1 to switch to text mode it clearly indicates that the Xserver is functional.
Yes, the monitor goes into standby mode, but if you switch to text mode using ctrl-alt-F1 then the monitor goes from standby mode -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
