I guess it must not be totally dead, but rather in a state where signal isn't being set to the display. When things aren't working an LED is briefly green and then turns yellow. (All the while the screen stays black.) Ctrl Alt BS makes it turn green again. Sometimes just briefly, but eventually I get the desktop displayed. I can also switch to vt's, but that is a slower way to restart X. -- fedora-test-list mailing list fedora-test-list@xxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-test-list
