Everything seems to work OK except for the screensavers. It doesn't matter whether I'm running Xwindows or not. Once the screensaver kicks in and blanks my screen, it will not come back. It doesn't see keyboard or mouse buttons. I can still log in as root and shut the system down. Once the system has halted and it prints the shutdown messages to the screen, the screen comes back. Anybody have any helpful suggestions? Thanks Keith ktomkins@cisco.com
