surprised this afternoon when, while the installation of gnome2 was
working, I think it was building GCC 4.4 and friends, the HP 2010i
LCD monitor I use on the machine appeared to lose the input to its
DVI port. The HD activity light was still flickering so I let it
continue and waited a hour or so for it to quit indicating activity
before I pressed the reset button.
Sounds like the video card went into power save. Pressing a shift key
might have brought it back.
I would like to know if anyone else has experienced this or, if a PR
is necessary against the Xorg radeon driver.
It's not clear whether you were running in the console or X. If X
wasn't even installed yet, the radeon driver could not have been at
fault.
Yes, Xorg was running with gdm and gnome2. I was building packages from
ports in a gterm.
No, no combination of Shift-Fn or <Meta-key>-Fn did anything. The
keyboard was active as the Caps-Lock and Num-Lock lights worked.
The monitor power save features are disabled.
I wonder if the Linux Catalyst Control Center app. from ATI would work
under VirtualBox-OSE?
Thank You,
Michael
