That's very odd. It pretty much defies the whole concept of isolating users from each other and from the 'core' system,
don't forget one can't at all differenciate the monitor and the video card.
You're correct. I thought about persistent, incorrect display settings but then thought overwriting /.kde wouldn't clear that up. My multisync stores settings for each mode, but only when you customize them with the OSD. I've also had display adapters with behaviors as you've described. I'm still leaning towards a SaX2 / driver configuration issue affecting flat panel displays. There has certainly been a rash of similar sounding problems reported on SLE for 10.1. And there *is* a common denominator: flat panels typically have, relatively speaking, an extremely narrow range of modes that will work, whereast CRT based displays are analog at the output. They adapt much more easily to broader range of modes and don't have the same tendency to go 'black'. Carl
