I have an nforce2 based ASUS mainboard and an nvidia based ASUS graphics card and an BenQ LCD monitor. I'm hit by the issue with X not starting if cable are plugged in onboard LAN. However, this is a different issue:
I downloaded 2.4 today, started it with "dsl toram" with the LAN cable out, replugged it after fluxbox was up and running. All was working hunky dory. After a while I left the machine for 15-20 minutes. When I got back the screen were blank. I assumed it's some powersaving modus - but, alas, no amount of movement of mouse or pressing on keyboard keys can bring the screen back to life (wireless USB mouse and keyboard, BTW). I know DSL was still up and running as I had XMMS playing radio and the soundstream continued.
Any idea?you could try disabling the screen saver in ~/.xinitrc ;
#turn off screen saver xset s off &

Yes. Thanks, that worked. DSL running over night now, no problem.
However, if the screensaver knocks out the display with no other option for recovery than a full reboot, then I would describe it as a pretty bad bug.....On my Dell 505 laptop (ahem, mine did I say..?, Ok company's laptop), pressing the Esc key brings it back to life - if that was not one of the keys you tried. KUnfortunately, only disabling screensaver seems to help....Next Page...
