Hey,
I forget the exact thread here, but you were trying to shut your monitor
off, is that correct?
Were you also the guy that was getting "Major" and "Minor" OpCodes or
something and some error message? I remember reading over a thread where
someone had the exact same problem as me.
There are some instructions on imaclinux.net maillist archives (at egroups)
RE getting some 3.3.5 RPMS onto your system, and tweaking a few files to
get DPMS stuff to work without error. The instructions always take me ages
to find, so I will leave that up to you ;). But yeah, now that
Ruff-pack/CS 1.2 3.3.6 RPMS are out, I would try RPMing those and keeping
those 3.3.5 instructions handy.
I hope this help. No doubt this doesn't answer your question, but is the
best I can help you with.
