I did a good little bit of searching on Google and didn't come up with anything.

I've got a Radeon 9700 Pro running Cat 4.1 Omega and have a problem where if I fast user switch, and someone logs on, the display will take a good 10-15 seconds to come up; in the meantime it registers as DPMS off.

Anyone have any ideas? I was thinking maybe VPU Recover, but I haven't started randomly toggling things on and off yet.

Was this not a problem with the 3.X Cats? And does logging out and back in do this as well? I've never found Fast User Switching to be terribly reliable or bug-free...

Running Cat 3.10 with AIW 7500, never seen the problem. Fast user switching has never been an issue, it's one of my favorite features of XP.

Think maybe I've got it... Seems as though the other user accounts had a screen saver + "Display logon after resuming" set in the Screen Saver panel, and 20 minue monitor Energy Saver setting.

I'm thinking is has to do with them being out of focus, but their settings still influencing the computer.
