Re: Monitor standby



You might try <alt><F7>. 
However I believe the real problem will turned out to be that you haven't 
configured X properly. You don't have a graphical display, do you?

I installed Linux (Debian Potato) for the first time. During installation I had to choose between simple and advanced for installing additional software. I used simple and selected all the packages containing the word Gnome or the character X (as recommended in "Installing Debian Potato by Mark Stone). During the process the configuration tool anXious detects that I need the s3v server. This seems right because I have a Diamond card with a s3 chipset. I know the video card has 4MB video memory. I used the documentation that came with the monitor to enter te appropriate values for hor/ver sync. I selected a few different resolutions which I know the monitor can handle.
 
After installation I can use tty1-tty6 but if I press <ctrl><alt><F7> the monitor turns to stand-by mode. What might have gone wrong?
