Hi all,

I just bought an Epia Via MII 6000 board , it runs great on slack. But i have a small problem. My monitor screen went blank after 10 mins or so. I couldn't find any where in the bios itself an option to reset that. I went through very careful the Bios user's manual. Is there an option some where in the kernel to disable this ???

thanks in advance ??
