monitor not returning from power saving mode Debian etch

[David Nicol]

The situation is as follows:

The monitor displays POST, then LILO, then booting, but somewhere in
the init process the monitor shuts off and remains off until it wakes
up on shutdown -r now, at which point one can switch between virtual
consoles and see the messages that root has echoed to for instance
/dev/tty4.

Any ideas?  It's not a wiring problem.
