DU 4.0 set monitor into power saving mode when logging out

I am having a strange problem with Digital Unix 4.0 and an AlphaStation 200
4/100 with an ATI Mach64 video card and the DEC 17" monitor.

Whenever a user logs out of the workstation, the monitor goes into "idle" or
power-saving mode. Normally, you could press a key or something to get the
monitor to respond, but nothing short of rebooting the system will get the
monitor out of power-saving mode. From my understanding, the monitor goes
into this mode when it fails to detect a signal on one of the video pins.
So, it looks as if there could be a problem with the ATI Mach64 video card
and I do not have this same problem with an AlphaStation 200 4/166 with the
ZLXp-E video option. I will attempt to duplicate this on another machine with
an ATI Mach64 as soon as I can.

Has anyone else experienced this? Any ideas of how to fix it?
