Very Computer

First:

I browsed the last couple of years' headers, and I saw one thing that
I'm going to try, but nobody ever said if it worked about this problem:

I've got two boxes - a 220R and a 420R - and both have PGX32-type Raptor
cards - and both have the problem where when the display goes to
"sleep", it can never be awakened again.

Has anyone found a conclusive fix for this problem?  Does commenting out
the "dtlogin stop" functionality in init.d/dtlogin work?

Is this related to "bug 6222319"?  If so, is there a patch?

Second:

When the display IS on and I'm working on the console, when I move the
mouse, the screen flickers on and off!!!  This is very annoying, as you
can imagine, and it makes it difficult to get anything done on console.

Has anyone experienced this behavior before?

Many thanks for any help,
Rick

If you haven't done so yet, I would install the most recent driver
patch for your OS release before trying anything else:

  $ pca -l /PGX32/

This solution worked perfectly!  This solved the problem both on the
220R and 420R.

For anyone having this issue, I recommend using Patch 119309!
