Hi I have Matrox G450 dual-head, and had similar problem. Mine was cured by placing the vga=normal to lilo.conf. I'm not sure if I have framebuffer. If it must be enabled somewhere, the I don't have it. Just did install 7.2, updated to latest XFree-86 and KDE 3 weeks ago, and configured the system with SaX2, and everything has been working since. Jaska.
still green. The monitor's power-LED is amber if the monitor lacks signal or is in suspend-mode. The system has APM disabled, so that's not disturbing.
What can this be?
What video card are you using ? Are you using frame-buffer consoles ? The combination of some cards (such as the one I own a Matrox) and framebuffers don't go together well.
I am using a Matrox G400. I have the the line vga=normal in /etc/lilo.conf.
Best regards, David List
