I have a SuperMicro P6SBS system board (the version that uses the same PWB as the P6DBS, but leaves the holes for things associated with the second processor unstuffed) with the latest BIOS upgrade. I have a problem that I cannot find settings for the Power Management CMOS configuration such that the card will time out the video using the VESA mechanism and then allow recovery with the keyboard. Once I time out, the only way to recover seems to be to use the reset switch or cycle power. The display adapter is a Matrox Productiva G100.
This machine runs NT most of the time, but is dual bootable to Linux. I have no problems with NT; hit the keyboard or mouse and it comes right back. But Linux just seems to take a long walk on a short pier...
Does anyone know how to set this up? Having the video blank IS important to me. But it would be nice to be able to recover. ;-) Thanks.
Harvey
