- an LG Flatron W2234S; or
- a Samsung SyncMaster 710N.
The netbook's built-in screen and the Samsung monitor switch off after five minutes like these options tell them to. But the LG monitor stays on, advising me to "check signal cable". Any ideas how I can get the LG monitor to obey the DPMS commands, please?
It could be a monitor fault. I have two seemingly identical Dell monitors - one goes blank, the other says "No VGA cable".
Thanks Tim. Hmm... I got hold of a laptop running the other operating system, and that could switch off the LG monitor just fine. Yet the Gentoo netbook still can't. Any further ideas, please?
