Monitor won't sleep
I have two systems:
- ASUS P4PE with Nvidia GeForce 2 - ASUS P3V4X with ATI AIW 128 The ATI system was set to put the monitor into sleep mode after 20 minute inactivity and did this OK. However, I could never get the NVidia system to do this (even though it was set in Windows Power Options). It would blank the monitor scree but not make it sleep. I've just swapped the ATI card in the P3V4X system to a NVidia Quadro2 MXR and now the monitor on this system won't go into sleep mode either. Is there some NVidia setting that I'm missing here? (I should add that the monitor is the same for each system - via a KVM switch) ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |

I remember a long time back almost every release mentioned something about monitor sleep conditions and not returning from suspend, etc. Give the newest a shot and see how it goes. If I'm thinking correctly, you might have an older 4x.xx version or less. |

Might be worthwhile to try it without the KVM switch.

If I'm thinking correctly, you might have an older 4x.xx version or less. As far as I recall, when I replaced the ATI card with the NVidia, I got the latest driver (since I din't have a driver for it anyway). But I'll check. ----== Posted via Newsfeeds.Com - Unlimited-Uncensored-Secure Usenet News==---- http://www.newsfeeds.com The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! 120,000+ Newsgroups ----= East and West-Coast Server Farms - Total Privacy via Encryption =---- |
