Dell monitor - "Entering Power Save"-G4 Os10.3.9

Jun 9, 2007 5:14AM PDT

Holding down "C" restarting from a Panther CD on G4 OS10.3.9, at restart our Dell 2007FPW monitor went black showing only an "Entering Power Save" dialog box which disappeared after a minute. We replaced the Dell with a CRT monitor which works fine. Tested the Dell on G5 Tiger-Dell works fine.

The same thing happened previously after upgrading Quicktime on the G4, then after another security and QT upgrade the Dell worked.

Suggestions please?
