Thread: Disabling video powersave (maybe)


i installed latest 32 bit (intel) xubuntu on ibm aptiva e series 585 500mhz pentium , 256mb ram. video gforce mx/mx400. think have couple of problems first video seems power down after while , won't restart. when find screen blank, pressing key give brief flash of screen image, nothing , no response kbd activity try. had use alt installer same problem, ie. screen going missing , had same lubuntu. logon screen after while locks. can recovery logon lock after time. got working gui once selecting "user defined session" after locked never worked again. fwiw box running w2k successfully, don't suspect hardware problem. ran gparted live cd fine. and, tried shutdown typing "invisible" terminal no luck, kbd not getting through either.

clue or suggestions appreciated. build these gift machines kids @ wifes after school/ summer camp.

i build gift machines , manage sell few. , have notice (old machines) produce quite bit of heat, enough shut them down. take case off , run it. if keeps cool, maybe add fan , few more miles out of it...
