Sceernlock switches off monitor permanently thereby forcing me to reboot the machine
Hi all. From last couple of days i'm facing a weird kind of problem. Im sing fluxbox and xlock to lock the screen. Now whenever i lock the screen the monitor goes off after some time[how to changes this in linux?]. so if you unlock the screen within some specified time[i guess its ~15/20 mins] its fine, but sometimes what i've noticed is when i try to switch on the monitory by moving the mouse, it'll not start i.e the monitor LED just keeps blinking, that means there is no signal from the CPU, i don't know whats the issue, in which case i'm forced to push the hotkey/Reboot key of the cpu manually, which really irritates me. Can anyone please let me know whats the issue. I must make it clear that i've never faced this kinda problem when i was using XP in the same box.
I'm using FC9 2.6.26.3.29.fc9.i686, samsung SyncMaster591s monitor. Any idea whats the bug. Thank you very much.
