On the first start of X windows, everything works perfectly. However, when I shutdown and X and try it again, 2/3 times, my monitor goes into power saving and I can't switch terminals or revive my monitor in anyway. Also, when I switch terminals to X (CTRL + ALT + F7), the same problem happens - my monitor blanks on me. Also to note, I can switch to a text terminal with my monitor blanked and type in my root login and reboot to restart my computer. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Start x windows 2. close down x 3. repeat steps 1 and 2 a couple of times until the monitor blanks Actual Results: my monitor has gone into powersaving, but my computer is still responsive Expected Results: X should come up and I should should see it. * media-video/kyro-kernel Latest version available: 2.00.20.516 Latest version installed: 2.00.20.516 Size of downloaded files: 968 kB Homepage: http://www.powervr.com/ Description: XFree86 DRI drivers for the KyroII card * x11-base/xfree Latest version available: 4.3.0-r2 Latest version installed: 4.3.0-r2 Size of downloaded files: 70,850 kB Homepage: http://www.xfree.org Description: Xfree86: famous and free X server * x11-base/xfree-drm Latest version available: 4.3.0-r6 Latest version installed: [ Not Installed ] Size of downloaded files: 330 kB Homepage: http://www.xfree.org Description: Xfree86 Kernel DRM modules Portage 2.0.49-r3 (default-x86-1.4, gcc-3.2.3, glibc-2.3.2-r1, 2.4.20-gentoo-r7) ================================================================= System uname: 2.4.20-gentoo-r7 i686 AMD Athlon(tm) processor ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="x86" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-tbird -funroll-loops -pipe" CHOST="i686-pc-linux-gnu" COMPILER="gcc3" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /var/qmail/control /usr/share/config /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/xkb" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-O3 -march=athlon-tbird -funroll-loops -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="sandbox ccache autoaddcvs" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://ftp.ussg.iu.edu/pub/linux/gentoo ftp://ftp.gtlib.cc.gatech.edu/pub/gentoo rsync://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo ftp://mirrors.tds.net/gentoo" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="" SYNC="rsync://rsync.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="oss crypt jpeg libg++ libwww mad mikmod ncurses nls pdflib slang xml2 xmms xv zlib gdbm berkdb readline svga sdl tcpd pam ssl perl python esd imlib oggvorbis gnome gtk2 gtk -kde -qt -arts acpi alsa apm avi bonobo cdr cups docs dvd encode foomaticdb gif gpm gstreamer java mmx -motif mozilla mpeg opengl png quicktime smaba spell tiff truetype usb videos X x86"
