- I am having a weird problem with the monitor on my 4/380 file server.
- It's a generic Sun b&w monitor. Every so often (about once a month),
- the lettering on the screen gets really garbled, though it is still
- barely legible. Everything else seems to still work ok, i.e. you can
- still log in. You just can't really read very well what you are
- typing.
-
- Only a power reset of the CPU clears the problem, i.e. it does not
- seem to be a bad monitor. It seems maybe like a video ram problem.
-
- Anyway, has andybody seen anything like this before? Is it an omen
- that my server is going to die soon?
