Hello all,

With that said here is my question.

I am running Redhat 9.0. I boot into text mode and after about 10-20
seconds My screen goes black and I loose  power to the monitor for a
second when the screen comes back it is black.
If I am in Xwindows I do not have this problem until I open up a
terminal. Then the screen flickers for about 7-10 seconds and then my
video comes back. It will do this untill I close the terminal. Then I
have no problems. I can be in X for hours playing video games and I
still do not have this problem. Only when I open a terminal and or
stay in text mode.

I am running a Geforce 4 MX 460 I have installed drivers.

here is my XF86Config

# RgbPath is the location of the RGB database.  Note, this is the name
of the

# no need to change the default.

# Multiple FontPath entries are allowed (they are concatenated
together)
# By default, Red Hat 6.0 and later now use a font server independent
of
# the X server to render fonts.

# To disable the XKEYBOARD extension, uncomment XkbDisable.
#	Option	"XkbDisable"

# To customise the XKB settings to suit your keyboard, modify the
# lines below (which are the defaults).  For example, for a non-U.S.
# keyboard, you will probably want to use:
#	Option	"XkbModel"	"pc102"
# If you have a US Microsoft Natural keyboard, you can use:
#	Option	"XkbModel"	"microsoft"
#
# Then to change the language, change the Layout setting.
# For example, a german layout can be obtained with:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
# or:
#	Option	"XkbLayout"	"de"
#	Option	"XkbVariant"	"nodeadkeys"
#
# If you'd like to switch the positions of your capslock and
# control keys, use:
#	Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:swapcaps"
# Or if you just want both to be control, use:
#	Option	"XkbOptions"	"ctrl:nocaps"
