    Thanks for the quick reply. This is a voyager, and it
    has a slightly modified CG6 inside. Where can I get
    the screen blank patch for CG6?

    BTW, I am logged into windowmaker as root- I'll check
    the DISPLAY variable but I'm almost certain that it is
    correctly set (i.e. yast & works fine).
