A Fedora 4 machine that I haven't touched in a while won't take it's monitor out of standby mode. When the machine is started, I hear the hard drive and fan spinning, and the motherboard give the familiar POST beep. However, the yellow light on the monitor does not turn to green, and nothing is displayed. I connected the monitor to another machine (my everyday machine, where it is usually connected) with the same cable and it works flawlessly, thus eliminatng the monitor and cable as problem sources. I swapped video cards (A 32mb Nvida and something else unknown), this did not help. Might the motherboard be at fault? What can I check? The machine does not have SSH, otherwise I'd operate it that way. Thanks in advance for any tips.
