LCD screen and X
 

Whenever I start X my laptop LCD screen shuts down (and I mean really down since the backlight is off)
and then starts with the windows stuff. This is very annoying, is there a way to stop
the screen from shutting down?

"...and then starts with the windows stuff" does that mean it reboots and takes you to windows? What distro are you using and which version of X?

PS I would suggest this is a hardware

I mean it then works correctly and starts the X server and windows manager. It's just that every time my laptop goes into X mode the screen power offs for a couple of seconds.
It is the same problem in both Mandrake and Knoppix but the problem goes away in DSL. I am on a
Fujitsu Lifebook S6120.

Hi there,
I also have the same problem. Did you find any solution to this ? This happens even when I switch to any virtual console with (CTRL+ALT+F1) and come back to X with (CTRL+ALT+F7).
I own a toshiba satellite M30 laptop and am running Fedora Core 2.

Thanks!!!
