sysrq+alt+b also doesn’t work
Edit the file at /etc/sysctl.conf and add this line:
kernel.sysreq = 1
You can also set this as a kernel parameter via GRUB to prevent you having to power cycle after changing the file.

nitrofurano, please keep in mind that the problem you experience is a debian problem, not a bunsenlabs problem, since bunsenlabs' basis is debian stable.
so you might want to consider searching on debian forums, too.
there's also a remote possibility that your gpu cannot support your monitor, or has difficulties with it.

thanks, Head_on_a_Stick! (i guess that didn’t work, i’ll try later)
btw, ohnonot, which debian forums do you recommend?
anyway, that savage gpu was onboard, and due on these issues, i tried to connect a “NVIDIA Corporation NV36 [GeForge FX 5700] (rev a1)” (i found it around from an older desktop computer), and most of these problems (including reboot and shutdown, i wonder why) disappeared
the problem is that, as it is connected to a cinescope display (that Nokia 447zi 17inch), it is still not displaying 1400x1050 as used to do on Crunchbang, whatever without xorg.conf, or with the xorg.conf below (i tried that above as well, and nothing)

(this nvidia gpu has a svga (where is it connected), dvi and s-video connectors, but i guess this shouldn’t be the issue causing that)
any idea if there is something wrong in this xorg.conf? (or should we mention that famous Torvald’s quote “nvidia fxxx you”? )
(thanks a lot in advance!)

i tried now to follow this information - http://www.arunviswanathan.com/node/53 - and i can get 1400x1050 60hz working fine - weird is that i used to be able to do that by editing xorg.conf only - and using xrandr seems far more toilsome

having this at /etc/profile.d/xrandr.sh seems to work:
#xrandr | grep maximum
#gtf 1400 1050 60
xrandr --newmode "1400x1050_60.00" 122.61 1400 1488 1640 1880 1050 1051 1054 1087 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1400x1050_60.00
xrandr --newmode "1280x960_60.00" 102.10 1280 1360 1496 1712 960 961 964 994 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1280x960_60.00
xrandr --newmode "1152x864_60.00" 81.62 1152 1216 1336 1520 864 865 868 895 -HSync +Vsync
xrandr --addmode VGA-1 1152x864_60.00
xrandr --output VGA-1 --mode 1400x1050_60.00

(oops, /etc/profile.d/xrandr.sh only works on Lubuntu (i thought i was testing it on BunsenLabs, not Lubuntu! ), i wonder why isn’t that working on BunsenLabs... :S )

Call the script from ~/.config/openbox/autostart instead.

Call the script from ~/.config/openbox/autostart instead.
doing only this is very counterproductive because it will only affect openbox, and only on the current user (i wanted to do it for all users and all window managers) - the fact is that i use a lot of different window managers (depending on my mood! ), and have to add it on all window manager config files for all users is quite toilsome
and btw, i found a bug on BunsenLabs: nothing inside /etc/profile.d is automatically executed - i had to run "bash /etc/profile.d/xrandr.sh" from a terminal
is there somewhere we should edit for allowing all scripts from /etc/profile.d/ ? and will be this bug fixed in the next BunsenLab installers and netinstall-scripts? this would be really great!

yes, i still use such old hardware! (planned obsolescence isn’t for me, at all!

Well use /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d then.
I have already linked you to a guide earlier in the thread.

Does it work now?
If so, please add [SOLVED] to the thread title to help others who have this problem
I'm going to move this to GUI & Applications as it is an EDID issue rather than a bug with Debian/BL
