Seems like an easy fix would be to write a routine into KDM to write
4-5 seconds worth of something benign (like the KDE logo in different

do this with the 'preparing to shutdown' screen? Maybe there's a
reason for that).
~Mike.
That seems like a pretty unhelpful solution. Say the system crashes?
Or KDE or
X crash? The same problem will still exist.
With this solution someone could intentionally crash your machine to
avoid those
routines from running. I'm not trying to put you down or anything, in
fact I probably
know less about video related stuff than most on the list, this just
doesn't seem like
the best way to do it. I have no better suggestions, I'll leave this one to
the experts.
