I usually keep my Redhat 9 display turned off. When I need to see it, I turn it on, jiggle the mouse and it wakes up from its energy-saving mode.
But right now the display won't wake up. So I can't see the Linux system at all. It's running ok, but I can't access it. There is no remote login permitted - I always do everything right at the console. I don't even know if I am currently in a shell or not. Is there anything I can do? I tried cntrl-alt-backspace to restart X, but there was no reaction. I tried unplugging and plugging in the monitor itself, but that didn't help. I hate to just power down and power up, because that is always slightly risky for the server software I am currently running. Besides, if the problem is that the graphics board failed for some reason, after starting up I couldn't get in to do anything. Right now everything is running ok, but I do need to get into the system to run backups, etc. Anybody have any suggestions? Any secret Linux "wake up display" keystrokes or anything like that?
