Monitor goes black. Problem with monitor and/or video card?

Hi,

I installed 9.1 a few days ago and the installation went fine. I can log on to Linux fine. The problem seems to happen if I leave the computer running without actually doing anything. I can go away for a few minutes and the screen goes black. There is nothing I can do to get it to come back except to turn off the power strip the computer is plugged into and then rebooting the computer. I tried going into Drakboot and unchecking enable ACPI. I also checked force no apic. However, if I go back into Drakboot everything I did went back to it’s original state. The monitor I have is generic. The video card is an Intel ® 82810 Graphics Controller. Mandrake did not detect my monitor or video card on the install. I’ve got the monitor set up as a generic 800 x 600 and the video card set up as an Intel 810. I’ve tried selecting all of the different video cards listed under Intel but that doesn’t seem to make a difference. I'm dual booting with Windows XP and the problem doesn't happen with XP. I also had Red Hat 9.0 installed until I decided I wanted to try Mandrake. The problem only seems to happen with Mandrake. I'm not real sure what to do about this one. I'm pretty new to Linux. Any ideas?

Welcome!

I tried going into Drakboot and unchecking enable ACPI. I also checked force no apic. However, if I go back into Drakboot everything I did went back to it’s original state.
Broken feature...may be fixed with the updates, but the best thing to do is edit your bootloader config file yourself to ensure it's there. I believe /etc/lilo.conf has an

append=

line. Add acpi=on to it like;

append= acpi=on

 

Grub's /boot/grub/menu.lst? Just add it...here's mine (I have off for ML9.1 but on for all other distros. Don't know what the prob is);

title ML9.1

kernel (hd0,5)/boot/vmlinuz-2.4.21-0.13mdk root=/dev/hda6 noapic acpi=off idebus=133 ro devfs=mount hdd=ide-scsi vga=791

initrd (hd0,5)/boot/initrd-2.4.21-0.13mdk.img

 

My other machine has the i810 onboard video and works fine.....and it uses acpi on ML9.1.

 

Look in /var/log/messages to find out whether apm or acpi is used after rebooting with acpi=on. Or/and do

ps -A

and look for apmd or acpid. You need to have the acpi and acpid pkgs installed and both set to run at boot in mcc>System>DrakXServices with apmd not to run at boot. As a last resort....turn everything of with;

xset s off s noblank dpms 0 0 0

and just turn the monitor of yourself if you're going to be away for a while. If you use kde, you can create a file called (anything really with .sh) ~/.kde/Autostart/autostart.sh and put the above xset command in it, so it's done at login.

Thank you very much for the reply. Until I found this forum earlier this afternoon, I posted this on a couple of different sites with no responses whatsoever. I'm going to boot back into Linux and give this a shot. I'll post back if I have any other problems or can't figure out how to get into something. Thanks again as this has been driving me crazy and I've been starting to think I should just give up.

You're welcome! Don't give up....just keep the details coming and we'll figure it out....heh, just look at my post count....you don't think I got that high because I give up huh? :wink: ...and no, I don't post in offtopic/TalkTalk very often :lol:

Neither ACPI or ACPID were installed. I went into Software Management and installed them. Before I did that I edited /etc/lilo.conf file. I am copying the file into this post.

After I did this I rebooted the computer and when everything started I noticed that starting acpi failed.

 

Also, here's the most recent login under /var/log/messages.

The monitor is still turning off. I am using KDE. I have no problem adding the xset command in, but am not sure where to put it.

 

Hope all of this info helps and I'm not overloading you. Thanks again.

Oh :oops: this is probably my fault :oops: . After you edit lilo.conf, you have to run;

lilo -v

in a terminal as root or the changes won't take effect. Another reason I prefer grub :wink: . Open a terminal

su <hit Enter>

password <hit Enter>

lilo -v

 

look for errors, and if none reboot. Ignore the no bkup messege :wink:

 

Sorry! :)

not an expert on the subject by any means, but do you have APM (Advanced Power Management) set up, too, by any chance? when i first installed MDK, i was having the same problem. i'd leave the 'puter for a while & when i'd come back, my screen was black. i thought this was normal, like in Window$ sleep mode. but i couldn't do anything to get the screen "awake". mouse movement, keyboard.......nothing would make the screen come back on, even though i knew the hard drive was working. i knew i wasn't using ACPI, but i realized i had APM set up for the monitor to go to sleep after 15 minutes. also, APM was running under services in MCC. i stopped APM from running, disabled it at boot time, & now my monitor comes back on from sleep mode. not sure, but i think it's being controlled by the bios settings instead of letting MDK APM control. regardless, that's what solved it for me. might be worth looking into if you haven't already.

Thanks for the help bvc and Chris. After running lilo -v everything seems to be fixed. I've left the computer on for the last half hour and now I'm getting a screensaver instead of the monitor going black. I let it do this four different times so the problem should be fixed. Once again, thanks for the help and I'll post if I have any other problems.

 

:D
