Unfortunately, its only available "after" you are logged in (and 4Sight is running), once you logout the console screen stays on, and after about 3 months, its burned into the console -- I wonder if SGI will replace these monitors under the terms of the service contract? On the Personal Iris's I've noticed that the problem is fixed.. anyone know why (rev10 PROMS perhaps?) ? Won't someone from SGI please comment on what is being done to resolve this -- it is quite annoying. -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | phone: 216-433-8318 NASA Lewis Research Center | Cleveland, Ohio 44135 | email: fsfacca@lerc08.lerc.nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------------------

On the 3000's blanktime stays in effect until you issue another blanktime, whether someone is logged on or not. Not having blanktime work on 4D with no one on the machine is pretty stupid. Personally, I think that is THE most important time for it to work. -- Brent L.

I have just finished installing rev10 PROMS (this gives you the menu when you start the system) and version 3.1D on the 4D/70G's and the screen STILL doesn't blank after you logout. So it must be something else... -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Tony Facca | phone: 216-433-8318 NASA Lewis Research Center | Cleveland, Ohio 44135 | email: fsfacca@lerc08.lerc.nasa.gov -----------------------------------------------------------------------------
