no, that's not it.. the monitor goes into power off mode - the LED turns
orange.



That sounds like the X server trying to start and failing. It did just as
you describe about 8 times. I JUST experienced the same thing on a Fedora 8
install.
Although, it finally failed and asked if I wanted to view the log and
manually configure....

I had an un-identified monitor.....

It sounds like you might have removed X already too, so ignore this if it's
not relevant...
