Display with RHEL 4, Update 2 going to sleep

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



I have a Dell Optiplex GX620 with a DELL 1707FP monitor. The system is connected through the dvi connector. Graphics for installation using "linux textnofb" works. The registration graphics to RedHat through up2date works fine. The analog connection to a Mac has no problems.

xorg.conf recognizes the monitor as a DELL 1707FP with an "ATI Radeon X600" board.

When I run "startx", text comes across the screen rapidly, but then the screen goes black.

When I press on the monitor status button, the screen says it is in the energy power saving mode and to press a key or move a mouse to wake it up. Pressing a key or moving the attached mouse does nothing.

I have turned off  apmd for all initialization levels.

/var/log/Xorg.0.log has warnings about the TTF and CID fonts missing and

(WW)   Open  APM failed (dev/apm_bios)  (Nosuch file or directory)
I found this on another RedHat system of mine.  The file belongs to

dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm

When I try to install

rpm -ivh dev-3.3.12-1.i386.rpm
Cannot install the dev package:  mounted  devfs  detected.

Any suggestions.
