Anyone find a solution to this one?

While configuring X, I discovered that my video monitor on/off status 
was critical. With it turned off, I was unable to find a screen 
configuration that was supported. Turning on the monitor allowed the 
identification of supported screens.

Is there a way to tell X to ignore the monitor power status?

Chuck
