[Problem submitter responsible for next action, Closure Pending]

Closing this case with the agreement of Kenji Noguchi and Satoshi Asara.


On systems with an ATI Mach64 graphics card, sometimes the monitor will
lose synchronization or become stuck in power-save mode.

Patches were provided to the customer for Digital UNIX V3.2A and V3.2C.
The patches will be made available to the CSCs with the following patch

        V3.2    OSF320-274
                OSF320X-025

        V3.2B   OSF325-320274
                OSF325X-004

        V3.2C   OSF350-306
                OSF350X-032

        V3.2D-1 OSF360-350306
                OSF360X-350032

        V3.2D-2 OSF365-350306
                OSF365X-350032

        V3.2F   OSF370-350306
                OSF370X-350032

        V3.2G   OSF375-350306
                OSF375X-350032

        V4.0    OSF400-124
                OSF400-140
                OSF400X-009

        V4.0A   OSF405-039
                OSF405-400140
                OSF405X-005

        V4.0B   OSF410-035
                OSF410X-405005

This problem is fixed in the Digital UNIX PTC release (tenatively named
V4.0D).

	anybody have a pointer to these patches or will I need to IPMT this for
clarification

From the 3.2d-2 readme for the latest kits. 

A simple find for Mach found this.... sounds similar... 
but it depends which files where patched in your original 
one (more often than not nowadays the readme describes 
*some* of the problems the patches fix. 

BTW are you talking about 3.2d-2 or 3.2d-e2 - you have the patches
for one and talk about the other.....  I realise there's not much
difference but sometimes that can be the problem.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

The following instructions assume the patched files are in directory
/patches.

Become superuser and enter the following commands:

# cd /usr/shlib/X11

# cp /patches/lib_dec_ati64.so lib_dec_ati64.so.new
# chown bin:bin lib_dec_ati64.so.new
# chmod 444 lib_dec_ati64.so.new

# ln lib_dec_ati64.so lib_dec_ati64.so.orig
# mv lib_dec_ati64.so.new lib_dec_ati64.so

To start using this patch, you must stop and restart the X server.  Note
that this will close all of the windows and log you out of the session
on the workstation monitor.  To do this, you can either login on the
workstation monitor or login to the workstation from another machine.
Then become superuser and enter the following commands:

# /sbin/init.d/xdm stop

If you have logged in on the workstation monitor, press Return a few
times until you see the login prompt.  Then login as root.

# /sbin/init.d/xdm start; exit
