startx shuts off my monitor
 
The subject pretty much sums it up. Running a fresh install of slackware 10.0, I was tinkering around on the command line, and when I typed startx my monitor shut itself off, like if I had powered down my computer but not the monitor. When I rebooted (by hitting the reset button) the resolution on my command prompt had changed.

Weird.

If you don't shutdown properly i've seen that sometimes it doesn't save things properly. About the screen, i dunno much about slackware so i cant help you, post the log if you have it.

too big refresh rate? or resolution configured in the
xf86config? it can kill your monitor also

Yeah, i think something in the xf86conf changed...
Ive had similar problems with a monitor and it also was the resolution which caused it

I got it working!

1. ran xorgconfig
2. installled nvidia driver
3. edited xorg.conf

And now it works, so I am happy.
