RedHat Linux 5

When leaving my box unatended for several minutes, the power saver functions kick in (inspite of the fact that I have disabled them at the BIOS level).

The S3 has a problem restarting the video services when this happens. If I am running in X I have to Kill X to recover video, if I am under shell I have to reboot the box.

Interestingly enough, this does not happen when using Slackware.

Disabling power saver in RedHat

Linux is a UNIX-like open source operating system with hundreds of distinct distributions, including: Fedora, openSUSE, Ubuntu, Debian, Slackware, Gentoo, CentOS, and Arch Linux. Linux is generally associated with web and database servers, but has become popular in many niche industries and applications.
