Monitor goes to power save mode on boot
Fresh install of Intrepid a while ago. Mostly works fine, except for booting.
On power up I get a few lines about the boot loader, and then the monitor goes blank, actually loses signal and indicates a power saving function. After about 15 seconds or so I see the mouse (round spinny busy mouse) and then the login screen.
Why is this power saving thing happening; it never happened on Heron before? How can I turn it off so that I can see what's happening, i.e. progress of the boot?
This is particularly frustrating when the periodic disk checking is happening at boot time, as the power saving lasts for quite a while while the checking is happening and I don't get any indication on the monitor; I can just tell by looking at the disk activity led. Can the periodic check be cancelled and run manually either at boot or once the system is up?
