Hi All,
I installed an Ultra 30 with Solaris 10 GA. The installation went fine,
no problems. Then the machine rebooted and started Solaris 10. Again no
problems: I was able to login using CDE and configure my host. So then I
logged in and walked away. When I return my screen is black but when I
hit the 'any' key the screen-unlock screen appears and I can unlock the
screen. Everything is working fine, I'm happy.
But last week when I hit the 'any' the screen stays black. The machine
is still working because I can ssh to it. But I can't get any output on
the screen anymore, it stays black. The led besides the power key (on
the monitor) starts flashing rapidly. I rebooted the machine but it will
not put output on the screen. I disabled dtlogin and rebooted but still
no output on the screen.
What bothers me is that it used to work but that it suddenly stopped
working.
Anybody familiar with this situation and how I should solve this?
