I just logged in to my KDE desktop and after a little working and socializing and other usual things, I tried to put it to "sleep" with Fn+f2. The system went down for its little nap, and I got a bad feeling (Linux has been a real drag for me so far on any computer I've tried installing it) so I called it back up again. The monitor now tells me there is no input signal, even though the tower is clearly lit up and working. I tried hitting a few buttons to make it refresh itself again, but no dice. From what I can tell, something about the video/graphics configuration got messed up during the "sleep mode" operation. Of course, without being able to see what I'm doing, I don't have a hope of fixing it on my own.
I am very, very, very, extremely frustrated. I *just* got this thing working again! Does anyone have any ideas on what I can do?
And ideally, I'd like to be able to do normal things with my computer (sleep mode, desktop effects, etc) without disaster inevitably ensuing. Is there something, or a list of somethings I need to do to make this thing be stable?
